To make Honey Lime Fruit Skewers, you need the best fresh fruits. Here’s what to gather: - 1 cup pineapple chunks - 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved - 1 cup mango, diced - 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced - 1 cup blueberries I love using these fruits because they blend well. Each fruit adds a different flavor. Pineapple brings sweetness, while kiwi adds a nice tartness. Strawberries and mangoes add color and taste. Blueberries are a burst of juicy goodness! The honey and lime dressing makes these skewers special. You will need: - 3 tablespoons honey - 2 tablespoons lime juice - Zest of 1 lime Start by mixing honey, lime juice, and lime zest in a small bowl. Whisk them together until smooth. This dressing adds a sweet and tangy kick to the fruit. For skewers, you can use either wooden or bamboo ones. They work great for holding the fruit.

Arrange the skewers in a circle or a line for a nice look. Add fresh mint leaves for a splash of green. This adds color and a fresh scent. You can also drizzle some extra honey-lime mix over the top.

Winter calls for citrus fruits like oranges or grapefruits. Each fruit adds its own flavor, making your skewers fun and exciting all year round. If you want to cut back on sugar, try using agave syrup instead of honey. You can also skip the honey-lime dressing and serve the fruit plain. Adding nuts or seeds gives a crunchy texture. This makes your skewers even more nutritious and satisfying. Serve your skewers on a big platter for a festive look. Pair them with yogurt for dipping. You can also add a sprinkle of shredded coconut for extra flavor. These ideas make your honey lime fruit skewers a hit at any gathering. For the full recipe, check the main section.

If you want to keep them longer, store the fruit and dressing separately. Assemble them just before serving for the best taste and look. Wooden or bamboo skewers can be reused, but wash them first. Soak them in warm, soapy water to remove any residue. Rinse and let them dry completely. This way, you can enjoy more skewers at your next gathering or barbecue.
