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.
