American Flag Kabobs

By srumbel

My 2 Sisters had a great time putting together this fun American Flag Kabob Platter for summer holidays like July 4th (perfect for Memorial day, too). It's SUPER easy and impressive for a party and a great snack for the kids to put together.

Ingredients

• 3-4 bananas, cut into slices (about 51)
• Raspberries (about 62)
• Blueberries (about 45)
• Wooden Kabob Skewers (about 11)
• Lemon Juice

Preparation

Step 1

For each banana/raspberries kabob you will need 7 raspberries and 6 banana slices. You will start and end with a raspberry
We made 6 of these, but if you want 12 make one more
For each, raspberry/banana/blueberry kabob you will need 4 raspberries, 3 bananas and about 9 blueberries
Star with your raspberry and end with all the blueberries at the top.
Arrange on platter with 5 raspberry/banana/blueberry kabobs and then 6 (or 7) banana/raspberries kabobs to form your flag.
Carefully arrange to make sure the stripes are all aligned.
Drizzle with lemon juice to make sure bananas do not brown
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 hour
Note- if you need to store longer, I would recommend mini marshmallows instead of the bananas. Not as healthy, but it will last a bit longer.

(makes 11 kabobs)
