These easy rainbow fruit kabobs are the perfect nut-free, allergy-friendly birthday treat for school. Quick to assemble with no baking required, they’re visually stunning and actually healthy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound strawberries (red)
  • 3 to 4 medium oranges or mandarin oranges (orange)
  • 1 small pineapple or 2 cups pre-cut pineapple chunks (yellow)
  • 1 large bunch seedless green grapes (green)
  • 1 pint blueberries (blue)
  • 1 bunch purple grapes or 1 container blackberries (purple)
  • Wooden skewers (6-inch)

Instructions

  1. Soak the wooden skewers in a large bowl of water for at least 10 minutes to prevent splintering.
  2. Wash all fruit under cool running water and pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Remove green tops from strawberries and slice into halves or thick slices (about 1/2 inch).
  4. Peel oranges and separate into segments. For larger oranges, cut segments in half crosswise.
  5. Cut off top and bottom of pineapple, slice off skin, remove eyes, and cut into 1-inch chunks.
  6. Leave green grapes whole. For purple grapes, leave whole or cut in half if large.
  7. Arrange fruit in rainbow order: red (strawberries), orange (oranges), yellow (pineapple), green (grapes), blue (blueberries), purple (purple grapes or blackberries).
  8. Thread fruit onto soaked skewers in rainbow order, starting with strawberry, then orange, pineapple, green grape, blueberry, and purple grape or blackberry. Repeat pattern until skewer is full, leaving about 1/2 inch at bottom for handle.
  9. Repeat for all kabobs (makes about 20 to 24).
  10. Arrange on a platter or sheet pan, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Soak skewers for 10 minutes to prevent splintering. Cut fruit into uniform sizes (about 1 inch) for balanced kabobs. Pat blueberries dry to help them stay on skewer. Thread fruit gently through center. Store in airtight container in fridge for up to 24 hours. For best results, serve cold.
