Scale

Instructions
- Wash all berries thoroughly and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel.

- Slice a 2-inch thick round from the center of the watermelon. Cut away the rind and cube the red flesh into 1-inch pieces.
- Thread one strawberry half onto a skewer, cut side facing you.
- Add one cube of watermelon to the skewer.
- Finish by adding 2-3 blueberries to the end of the skewer.
- Repeat the strawberry, watermelon, blueberry pattern until the skewer is full or you have used all your fruit.
- Serve immediately or arrange on a platter, cover loosely, and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
Notes
For best results, ensure fruit is completely dry before assembling and use ripe, in-season produce. Assemble close to serving time for optimal texture. Skewers can be deconstructed for very young children.
