Colorful Fruit Kabobs

Submitted by Greeny4444

"This is basically fruit salad - on a stick! It's a great, healthy side for kids or elderly people who have trouble handling plates. It does take a bit of time to assemble, but the results look stunning at a baby shower, birthday party, or cookout! The goal is to make the skewer colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue. You can, however, substitute any fruit you'd like. You can also reverse the order in which you put the fruit on the skewer, and dip the bottom of the strawberry in chocolate. Have fun!"

How do I describe my fruit kabob experience? Ztaprullas, tubiddi...oh, don't mind me, I'm just trying to think of a new word to describe it because I can't seem to find one that already exists...blabblarfuses, shamabluious. Tagged in Everyday Is A Holiday.

I'm not sure why but food eaten off a stick always tastes better! Thank you for the great idea, the fruit kabobs are delicious.
