Ingredients
  

Fruit skewers
  • 2 cup fresh strawberries hulled and halved if large
  • 2 cup fresh blueberries leave whole
  • 2 cup large marshmallows or white grapes use white marshmallows or swap in white grapes
  • 12 wooden skewers or bamboo picks for threading; soak bamboo if needed

Method
 

Prep the fruit
  1. Wash strawberries and blueberries thoroughly. Hull the strawberries and halve them if large, and leave the blueberries whole so they thread cleanly.
Thread the kabobs
  1. Thread each skewer in a repeating pattern of 1 blueberry, 1 marshmallow, and 1 strawberry. Repeat 2–3 times per skewer depending on skewer length to keep the patriotic sequence even.
Arrange and chill
  1. Line completed skewers on a serving platter or tray. Refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 2 hours ahead, so they stay cold and grab-and-go.
Serve
  1. Serve the kabobs chilled. Arrange them so the red strawberries, white marshmallows, and blue blueberries stay visible and uniform.

Notes

For the neatest “flag” look, keep the berry size consistent and choose skewers that let you fit 2–3 full repeats. Store refrigerated in a single layer for up to 2 days; the strawberries may soften slightly. Freezing is not recommended. Dietary swap: replace the marshmallows with white grapes for a less sugary option while keeping the same pattern.
