These easy red white and blue fruit skewers<\/strong> are one of my family’s favorite festive treats. With juicy watermelon, sweet blueberries, and soft, fluffy marshmallows, they’re as fun to eat as they are to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a picture of what you’ll need to make red white and blue fruit kabobs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Watermelon,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Watermelon<\/strong> – Seedless watermelon works best, but you can definitely use watermelon with seeds and just remove them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blueberries<\/strong> – Use the largest, freshest, firmest blueberries you can find. (I try to buy organic blueberries when available, since they’re often on the Environmental Working Group’s Dirty Dozen list<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marshmallows<\/strong> – Use regular, soft marshmallows. If you want to be extra decadent, you can use homemade marshmallows<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
