FRUIT KABOB'S

we used mangos,strawberries, watermelon and Crenshaw melons.

Other fruit we use sometimes is pineapple, papaya, cantaloupe, honeydew and plums.

But you can use whatever fruit you like. Also if you want to make it an even sweeter treat you can sprinkle a little sugar on top of the fruit.
