I love dessert. If I’m invited to your house for dinner, I will definitely be bringing a dessert because I love something sweet after a meal.

In the summer, though, I don’t want a heavy dessert. I want something that will satisfy that sweet craving, but I also want something that is light and fresh. That’s why fruit is the perfect summer dessert. But let’s be honest. Bringing a fruit tray somewhere looks a little boring.

So, when you’re making a dessert to bring to one of the many patriotic parties this summer, bring Patriotic Fruit Flag Kabobs.

These fresh fruit skewers are a really cute and festive way to have fruit at a party. Plus, arguably the best part: The skewers come together in under 10 minutes. So, if you’re looking for a last minute idea, this is it.

Patriotic Fruit Flag Kabobs Ingredients:

Strawberries – You need fresh strawberries. Frozen ones won’t hold up well.
Bananas – Ripe bananas are best.
Blueberries – Fresh or frozen blueberries are fine. If you’re using frozen, be sure to defrost them first.

How To Make Patriotic Fruit Flag Kabobs:

Wash the strawberries. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut the tops off the strawberries and discard them. Cut the rest of the strawberry in half lengthwise.

Banana slices on an orange cutting board.

Cut the bananas into 1/2 inch slices.

A blueberry on a skewer above a white bowl filled with blueberries.

Add seven blueberries to a skewer, gently pushing them all the way to the top.

Add a strawberry slice, then banana slice, continuing until you filled the skewer two-thirds of the way. This should take three strawberry slices and two banana slices.

Repeat this pattern until you’ve made four skewers.

On four other skewers, alternate between strawberry slices and banana slices. You’ll need five strawberry slices and four banana slices.

Make four skewers this way.

Arrange the skewers on a wooden board with the skewers with the blueberries on the left, followed by the blueberry-free skewers. Make sure the strawberries and bananas line up to create the flag shape.

If you have any fruit left over, you can make a few more blueberry skewers. Make skewers with just seven blueberries on them, then stick them between the four skewers with all three fruits on it. That will fill in the gaps in the spacing, making your fruit flag look fuller.
