Ingredients
Method
- Cut the cantaloupe in half and remove the seeds.
- Using a melon baller, make 40 balls out of the cantaloupe. OR, slice the cantaloupe into 1/2-inch slices and cut out shapes using a small cookie cutter.
- Cut the watermelon in half and, using a melon baller, make 40 balls.
- Cut pineapple into 1/2-inch slices, then cut the slices into 1/2-inch cubes.
- Cut each starfruit into 10 1/4-inch slices.
- Assemble the fruit wands by gently sliding each piece of fruit onto each skewer in this order: 1 Slice of Starfruit (this becomes the star on top), 1 Ball of Watermelon, 1 Red Grape, 1 Green Grape, 1 Piece of Cantaloupe, 1 Cube of Pineapple, 1 Strawberry.
- Serve.
Notes
- Make ahead: Fruit wands can be assembled up to one day in advance. Lay finished wands on a baking sheet, keeping space between each. Layer parchment paper or plastic wrap between each layer of wands and refrigerate overnight. This ensures they stay fresh and firm.
- Variety is key: Feel free to experiment with other fruits like kiwi, mango, or blueberries to add more color and flavor. Just ensure they are firm enough to skewer.
- For perfectly round fruit balls, ensure your melon baller is sharp and make a clean, scooping motion. If the fruit is too soft, it will be harder to shape. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
