Equipment

  • Starfruit cutter
  • Food picks

Ingredients

  • Watermelon
  • Blueberry
  • Mini marshmallow
  • Blackberry
  • Strawberry

Instructions

  • Slice a watermelon into ¼-½ inch thick rounds. Use a small star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out star shapes from the slices.
  • Rinse strawberries and slice each one in half lengthwise. Choose firm, ripe strawberries so they hold their shape on the skewer.
  • On each skewer or wooden stick, thread the fruit in this order: start with a watermelon star at the top, followed by one blueberry, one mini marshmallow, one blackberry, and finish with a strawberry half. Angle the strawberry slightly so it lays flat and stays secure.
  • Arrange the fruit skewers on a serving platter. Keep chilled until ready to serve. For best results, assemble the same day they’ll be eaten.
