HOW TO MAKE A FRUIT KABOB

Steps:

• Choose which kind of grapes you'll use. You can either use white (Concord) grapes, which are the green ones, red grapes or purple grapes. You can also alternate. Note that the purple ones have seeds, and some red ones do, so keep this in mind if you're serving someone who doesn't like seeds.
• Choose 5 different types of fruits. You could use any of these: Cantaloupe Honeydew melon Watermelon Apples (any type) Oranges (any type) Bananas (chocolate-dipped ones are great, too) Strawberries Plums/prunes Apricots, nectarines, tangerines, tangelos, clementines, etc. (fresh or dried) Lemon Lime Pears (any type) Pineapples
• Or feel free to make your own selections.
• Gather your skewers and fruit.
• Decide on a pattern for your fruits to go in. Usually there's a grape on either end, and then a fruit, followed by a different fruit, followed by a grape, and so on. An example: grape, cantaloupe, grape, melon, grape, apricot, grape, plum, grape, apple, grape. If you're using different colors of grapes, you need to account for those, too.
• Stick a grape onto the far end of the skewer.
• Choose a fruit and add that next to the grape.
• Follow this process for the remainder of the skewer: Add a grape. Add a fruit. Add a grape Add a fruit
• Add one more grape and set this kebab aside.
• Repeat to make as many kebabs as you need.

SHOWY BUT SIMPLE FRUIT KABOBS - PERFECT FOR A PARTY

Steps:

• If you're starting with a whole watermelon, cut it in half. Cut tip to tip, so that if you turn your half upside down, the tips are barely noticeable at each end. Choose to work with the half that looks the best when you turn it over.
• Using a melon baller, scoop out all of the watermelon into nice bite sized balls, place them on a platter as you go. When you can't make any more balls, scrape the remainder of the watermelon out using a spoon until you have an empty shell (all white), and set the shell aside to let it dry out.
• Once the shell is dried out a bit you will turn the shell over onto a platter, so the cut side is down and you've got a nice half round base to work with. Using a paring knife, cut small X marks or poke holes in rows as you choose across the outside of the melon shell. Space the holes about 2" apart.
• Cut the rest of your fruit into bite sized pieces. You may also choose to use the melon baller on the cantaloupe.
• Once all the fruit is cut up, you can start assembling the fruit onto skewers following any pattern you like. The grapes and berries can act as cute stoppers in between larger pieces of fruit. You may also choose to place a piece of fresh mint here and there. Leave about 3" empty on the bottom of each skewer.
• As you finish each skewer poke the bottom into one of the pre-made holes or x's on your watermelon shell. Before long you'll have the entire melon filled up and looking a bit porcupine-ish. If you need to prepare a little in advance, make the skewers and base and then keep them chilled. Poke the skewers into place once you're ready to serve.

FRUITY FUN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Thread the strawberries, cantaloupe, banana and apple pieces alternately onto skewers, placing at least 2 pieces of fruit on each skewer. Arrange the fruit skewers decoratively on a serving platter.
