Notes
Make Ahead and Storage Tips: kabobs may be assembled earlier in the day. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
Will your young "chefs" be helping? If so, look for blunt-edge wooden skewers which can be found in kitchen specialty stores and some supermarkets. (or cut off the pointed end)
Be adventurous! these fruits are simply suggestions…try whatever fruits are in season in your area like other melons, plums, peaches, nectarines, mango and papaya. In the colder months when tropical fruits aren’t available, kabobs made with apples and pears are also yummy. (Squeeze some lemon juice over apples and pears to prevent browning.) When making the yogurt dip, feel free to experiment with other fruits.
