Delicious Fruit And Cheese Kabobs (Printable Version)
Refreshing skewers with seasonal fruits and artisan cheese cubes
# What You'll Need:
→ Fresh Fruits
01 - 1 cup seedless green grapes
02 - 1 cup seedless red grapes
03 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, halved
04 - 1 cup pineapple chunks
→ Cheeses
05 - 8 oz cheddar cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
06 - 8 oz Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
→ Garnishes and Equipment
07 - 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves
08 - 12 wooden skewers
# How to Make It:
01 - Wash and dry all fruits thoroughly. Hull strawberries and cut them in half if they are large. Leave grapes whole and ensure pineapple chunks are bite-sized.
02 - Cut both cheddar and Monterey Jack (or mozzarella) cheeses into uniform 1-inch cubes for consistent threading onto skewers.
03 - Thread each wooden skewer with an alternating pattern of fruits and cheese cubes. Mix colors and flavors for visual appeal—aim for variety in each kabob.
04 - Arrange finished kabobs on a serving platter. Scatter fresh mint leaves over the top for a pop of color and aroma, if desired.
05 - Serve chilled or at room temperature. For best texture and flavor, enjoy within 2 hours of assembly.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- They look stunning but take literally fifteen minutes from start to finish
- The sweet and creamy combination keeps everyone coming back for seconds
02 -
- Cold cheese cuts more cleanly so work quickly and keep it chilled until threading
- Firmer fruits like grapes and pineapple hold their shape better than softer berries
03 -
- Thread ingredients right up to the skewer tip so nothing wobbles off
- Make extra because these vanish twice as fast as you expect
