1 watermelon 1 pint blueberries
3 bananas (the fatter the better) 1 lb strawberries (the larger the better)
10-12? wooden kabob sticks Star shaped cookie cutters (1" & 2" sizes)
Instructions
1.
Slice the watermelon into 1 ?? thick slices. Cut out star shapes (2 per kabob) with the large star cookie cutter.
2.
Slice the strawberries in half to form two equal faces and remove the stem and leaves. Cut out star shapes (2 per kabob) with the small star cookie cutter.
3.
Slice the banana in 1 ?? thick slices. Cut out star shapes (2 per kabob) with the small star cookie cutter.
4.
Beginning with a blueberry, slide each piece of fruit onto the kabob. Alternate a banana star with a blueberry, then a strawberry star, then a blueberry, then a watermelon star, and repeat until the kabob is full. Make sure the fruit is centered over the kabob stick before you slide it on so it doesn?t split the fruit and cause it to fall off. Repeat with remaining kabobs and serve chilled.
