COLORFUL FRUIT KABOBS
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!

- First, skewer the strawberry.
- Then, skewer the cantelope or orange.
- Then, skewer the pineapple.
- Then, skewer the kiwifruit or honewdew melon.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor and texture.
- Choose fruits that are similar in size and shape so that they cook evenly.
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
- Alternate different colors of fruit on the skewers for a more visually appealing presentation.
- Brush the fruit kabobs with melted butter or oil before grilling to help them brown and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
- Grill the fruit kabobs over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and slightly caramelized.
- Serve the fruit kabobs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
