Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 cubes seedless watermelon, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
12 cubes honeydew melon, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
12 cubes cantaloupe, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
12 cubes pineapple, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
12 strawberries, about 1 1/2 inches each
2 bottle coconut water (33.8 oz each); enough to cover the fruit
1/2 c sweetened flaked coconut
6-8 wooden skewers

Steps:

  • 1. Soak fruit in a bowl of coconut water for about 10 minutes. Coconut water should just cover the fruit (the fruit will float a little). Soak wooden skewers in tap water for about 10 minutes to prevent burning.
  • 2. Toast coconut in a pan over medium-low heat for 3 to 5 minutes until it's lightly toasted. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • 3. Thread an assortment of fruit on skewers.
  • 4. Heat the grill pan on medium heat on your stove or set your grill pan on your outdoor grill for more of a smoky flavor. Let it preheat for about 5 minutes. Then spray with coconut cooking spray.
  • 5. Set the skewers on the grill pan. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on two sides.
  • 6. Remove the skewers from the grill and place them onto a serving tray. Sprinkle with toasted coconut. Serve warm.
