Kick off the 4th of July weekend with these festive Red, White and Blue Fruit Skewers! Easy to make and layered with strawberries, pineapple and blueberries!
Yay it’s almost the 4th of July!
That means grilling out all day
and wearing red sundresses
while sipping sweet tea
mixed with vodka (of course)
probably in a mason jar
because you know my obsession.
Ooo and the best part is, my brother will be home! This time last year he was in Afghanistan so I’m incredibly thankful to get to spend this fabulous holiday with him. He, along with ALL the troops, truly represent why this day is so important to us. I couldn’t be more proud of him!
So along with all the other goodies I made for this festive holiday, these little skewers are the perfect way to present your fruit at tomorrow’s cookout or party. Pretty sure the heat index said something about it being 98 tomorrow (le sigh) soo there is nothing better than fruit and refreshing drinks!I also love these skewers because they are perfect toppers for your cocktails!
No…not everything has to be alcohol related, but sometimes it’s more fun that way 😉
Plus I have a day off of work.
I made the pineapple stars using a star-shaped fondant cutter and the rest is pretty much self-explanatory! I promise this is the easiest way to keep your party festive and your guests happy.
Cute, huh?  Well I don’t really have a recipe for this, but all you need are a tub of blueberries, a bunch of strawberries (preferably smaller ones) and fresh pineapple. Easy peasy! You could also serve this with Lite Cool Whip, but I guarantee these will be a hit all on their own.  Plus it’s a great way to get your kiddos to eat more fruit!
Hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday!
Now time to whip up more sangria.
Very cute! Enjoy your holiday 🙂
To cute! I love the star pineapple!
That’s awesome that your brother gets to be home!!
These are gorgeous, Kelly! Love fresh fruit!
Very cute! Funny – I have patriotic fruit skewers on my blog today too 🙂
I love your 4th of July Spirit. I was going to stay home tomorrow but now you have inspired me to go to the lake with friends and take these little skewers. I know they will be the talk of the party. Now I need to run out and get a star cutter. Thanks bunches. Have fun and a big thank you to your brother for his service:)
These are super cute, love how you cut the pineapple! I may have to make them.

These look awesome! I made some similar for a baby shower awhile back, so simple and they were a huge hit!

I love the idea of fruit on a skewer. Also find it sanitary! My sister has a skewered theme for every occasion. I’m going to have to show her your Red White and Blue.
These are adorable and absolutely perfect for the fourth!!
