How should the pineapple be prepared?

Peel, core, and cut the pineapple into bite-sized chunks for easy skewering and balanced bites.

Can I use wooden skewers ahead of time?

Soak wooden skewers in water for about 10 minutes before assembling to prevent splitting or burning during use.

Chopped fresh mint, a drizzle of honey or agave syrup, and a sprinkle of lime zest add refreshing and sweet notes.

Adding grapes, kiwi, or melon can vary textures and flavors, making the skewers more colorful and interesting.

They pair well with yogurt dips or melted dark chocolate for a complementary creamy or rich touch.

The preparation typically takes about 10 minutes, with no cooking required, making it quick and easy.
