I found a photo of this festive fruit flag and decided that I had to reproduce it, since it is the perfect family-friendly dish for all the summer bbqs and Fourth of July parties. It’s an easy dish for children to prepare – so ask for some help and get everyone involved in making a delicious version of the Stars and Stripes.
Festive Fruit Flag Skewers
- 1 pint blueberries
- 2 pints strawberries (or substitute watermelon cubes or balls)
- 4 medium-ripe bananas
- 8 bamboo skewers, 8 inch in length
1. Wash blueberries and strawberries and cut both ends off each strawberry (reserve bottoms for fruit salad). Slice bananas into 1/2 inch sections. 2. Alternate banana and strawberry slices until half way up the skewer, finish the skewer with blueberries. Make four skewers with blueberries for the star field and four skewers with only banana and strawberry slices for the stripes. 3. Arrange the skewers on a white platter or plate and enjoy!
Happy 4th of July!
Cheers,
