Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and halved if large
- 1 cup fresh blueberries, washed and dried
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 6–8 inch wooden skewers
- Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Wash and prep the fruit: Rinse strawberries and blueberries under cold water and pat dry. Hull strawberries and halve large ones.
- Prepare your skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes if grilling; otherwise, have them ready.
- Assemble the skewers: Thread one strawberry piece, one mini marshmallow, one blueberry, another marshmallow, and finish with a strawberry on each skewer.
- Arrange and garnish: Place skewers on a serving platter and optionally tuck fresh mint leaves between them.
Notes
Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Pat fruit dry to help marshmallows stick and prevent sogginess. Chill marshmallows if too soft to skewer. Assemble skewers up to 2 hours ahead and keep refrigerated. Avoid stacking skewers tightly to prevent squishing fruit.
