📖 Instructions

1. Prep the Pineapple: Begin by slicing off the top and bottom of the pineapple. Stand it upright and carefully slice off the skin, following the natural curve of the fruit. Remove any remaining 'eyes' with a small knife or melon baller. Cut the pineapple into 1-inch chunks. Consider getting pineapples with the leaves still on to use as decoration to serve
2. Prepare the Mango: Stand the mango upright. Slice off the two 'cheeks' by cutting along either side of the large, flat pit. Score the flesh of each cheek in a grid pattern, being careful not to cut through the skin. Invert the cheeks and slice off the cubes of mango flesh. Avoid any mushy mangos!
3. Prep the Kiwi: Peel the kiwi using a vegetable peeler or paring knife. Slice the kiwi into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Try and use the same knife throughout for consistency
4. Prep the Strawberries: Wash the strawberries and pat them dry. Remove the green stems. If the strawberries are large, cut them in half or quarters so they are approximately the same size as the other fruit pieces. Or, leave them whole for a visual treat! But try and keep them all the same size.
5. Assemble the Skewers: Thread the prepared fruit onto skewers in a colorful and appealing pattern. Alternate the fruits to create a visually appealing skewer. Aim for a variety of colors and textures on each skewer. Make sure you leave a little space at the end of the skewers!
6. Make the Glaze: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, and grated ginger (if using) until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness as needed. Get the measurements right!
7. Glaze the Skewers: Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the fruit skewers with the honey-lime glaze. This will add a touch of sweetness and enhance the flavors of the fruit. Don't over glaze; just a thin coat is perfect. If you dont have a brush, use a spoon!
8. Grill (Optional): If desired, lightly grill the skewers over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are slightly caramelized. This step is optional but adds a delicious smoky flavor. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
9. Serve: Arrange the fruit skewers on a platter and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of shredded coconut, if desired. If you dont have mint or cocunut, you can also use basil.
