-
Carefully cut the watermelon into slices of about 1 ½ cm thickness. If you find it tricky to cut, slice it lengthways first then lay cut side down so it doesn’t roll while you are slicing.
-
Use the cutters to cut out the heart shaped pieces from the watermelon slices. Scrape out the flesh from the offcuts to use for snacks or in a healthy smoothie recipe.
-
Hull the strawberries and cut in half down the middle.
-
To assemble the skewers, thread the heart shaped watermelon pieces, raspberries and strawberries onto the skewers in any combination you like. When threading the strawberries, push the skewer through about ½ cm above the point of the strawberry to ensure it will hold onto the skewer securely.
-
You can assemble the skewers and keep them covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Mix up the fruit any way you like: try honeydew melon, grapes, pineapple, mango or kiwi.
