Directions
Wash all the fruits. Cut the orange, banana, kiwis, apple and pear into pieces about 2 cm in size. One of the tricks I have learned is to peel and cut the banana just before starting to string to avoid oxidation.
Thread the fruits onto the skewers, alternating them as you like. I would recommend that you start and end with grapes since they are more resistant and will help the other fruits stay in place.
Place the skewers on a plate and drizzle the lemon juice over them to prevent the fruit from turning black. If you choose to add a little sweetness, you can drizzle them with a little honey.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Fruit skewers are an excellent option to prepare a couple of hours in advance of your event.
