Ingredients
- Orange slice gummy candies (e.g., Haribo brand)
- Fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- Fresh blueberries
- Green seedless grapes, halved
- Wooden skewers, about 6 inches (15 cm) long
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and prep the fruit: rinse strawberries, blueberries, and grapes under cold water. Hull strawberries and cut them in half lengthwise. Slice grapes in half to make them bite-sized. Pat dry with paper towels to avoid sogginess on the kabobs.
- Prepare the gummy orange slices: unwrap gummy candies if individually wrapped. If desired, cut each slice in half with a sharp knife for smaller pieces.
- Assemble the kabobs: thread the skewers in this pattern for visual appeal and balanced flavor: gummy orange slice, strawberry half, blueberry, grape half, then repeat until the skewer is full (about 4-5 pieces per skewer). Leave about an inch of the skewer free on each end for handling.
- Add optional mint leaves: tuck a small mint leaf between fruit pieces or place a few as garnish on the serving platter.
- Chill before serving (optional): place the kabobs in the fridge for about 10 minutes to firm up the gummies slightly for a refreshing bite.
Notes
Use firm, fresh fruit to avoid soggy kabobs. Cut fruit uniformly for better assembly. Chill kabobs briefly before serving to firm gummies. Soak wooden skewers in warm water before use to avoid splinters. Can substitute lemon or lime gummies for flavor variation. Store kabobs covered in refrigerator up to 24 hours; avoid freezing.
