Equipment

4-inch appetizer toothpicks
Small star shaped cookie cutters (these are the cookie cutters I use)

Ingredients

FOR THE KABOBS

6 large strawberries
2 Pink Lady apples (or similar)
1/2 cup blueberries
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

FOR THE YOGURT DIP

1/2 cup plain yogurt or plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Wash, dry, and prepare fruit for cutting.
To make stars out of strawberries: cut off the stem, then cut each strawberry in half (from the top down). Depending on the size of the strawberry, use a 1-inch or 1.3-inch cookie cutter to punch out a star shape. Gently remove the strawberry from the cookie cutter and set aside. Repeat for all strawberries.
To make stars out of apples: cut two halves around the core for each apple. Cut off the rounded peel side of each half to make it flat (it should be about a half inch thick) and use the 1.6-inch cookie cutter to punch out a star and set aside. With the remaining core piece, use the 1-inch cookie cutter to punch out stars on either side of the core. Repeat for all apples.
NOTE: To preserve the apple’s white color and prevent browning, coat apple stars with lemon juice.
Assemble kabobs using 4-inch toothpicks, alternating between blueberries, strawberries, and apples.
Combine all the ingredients for the yogurt dip and serve promptly with the fruit kabobs.
{WAYS TO USE UP LEFTOVER SCRAPS: Since we're cutting stars from the strawberries and apples, you'll have some leftover scraps. But don't throw them away! See the list of ideas in the article how to how repurpose them.}
