Description

Celebrate July 4th with these festive and easy Red White and Blue Kabobs featuring fresh strawberries, blueberries, and soft pound cake. Perfectly bite-sized and quick to prepare, these colorful skewers are a fun and patriotic treat for gatherings and summer parties.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 12 ounce pound cake, cut into 1-inch cubes or larger
  • 36 fresh strawberries, tops removed
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare: Rinse the strawberries and blueberries thoroughly, then gently pat them dry to remove excess moisture. Remove the tops from the strawberries, keeping each berry whole for skewering. Slice the pound cake into 1-inch cubes that are firm enough to hold shape but still easy to eat.
  2. Skewer: Take a bamboo skewer and slide on a few blueberries first, followed by a whole strawberry. Next, add two cubes of pound cake, then another strawberry, and two more cake cubes. Repeat this fruit and cake pattern as desired to fill the skewer, finishing the bottom with a few blueberries for a balanced look and flavor.
  3. Repeat: Continue assembling the skewers in the same pattern until all the ingredients are used. This process should yield around 12 to 15 kabobs depending on the amount of fruit and cake on each skewer. Arrange the finished kabobs on a serving platter.
  4. Serve: Serve the kabobs as they are for a simple, refreshing treat, or enhance the flavor by adding a dollop of whipped cream or drizzling melted chocolate on top for an extra special touch. Enjoy immediately for best freshness.

Notes

  • Use pound cake or angel food cake depending on your preference for texture and sweetness.
  • Make sure to pat the fruit dry to prevent the cake from becoming soggy.
  • These skewers can be made a few hours in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator, but add any toppings like whipped cream just before serving.
  • For an adult twist, consider lightly drizzling with a fruit glaze or chocolate sauce.
  • Use bamboo skewers around 8 inches long for best handling and presentation.
