# How to Make It:
01 - Thoroughly wash and dry all fruits. Hull strawberries and cut them in half if they are large. Pat everything completely dry to prevent moisture on the skewers.
02 - Cut both cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses into uniform 1-inch cubes. Keeping the pieces consistent ensures even portions and attractive presentation on each skewer.
03 - Thread each wooden skewer with an alternating pattern of fruits and cheese cubes. Mix colors and vary the sequence for visual appeal—aim for 3-4 cheese cubes and 4-5 fruit pieces per skewer.
04 - Place the finished kabods on a serving platter in a fan or circular arrangement. Scatter fresh mint leaves over the top for a pop of color and optional herbal note.
05 - Serve the kabobs immediately while the fruit is fresh and cheese is firm. They can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature—ideal for buffet-style entertaining.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Assembly takes fifteen minutes flat but looks like you hired a caterer
- The sweet and creamy combo wins over even picky eaters
02 -
- Damp fruit makes cheese slide around on skewers, so dry everything thoroughly before threading
- Room temperature cheese cubes easier than cold, but cold cheese holds its shape better on skewers
03 -
- Buy slightly underripe fruit since fully ripe specimens can get soft and mushy on skewers
- Work quickly once you start cutting cheese to prevent it from warming up and becoming difficult to handle
