Fruit Skewers

 I have some leftover fruits from what I served yesterday to my guests. In order for it not to be rotten I decided to give it to the kids in the neighborhood because i cant consume all of it.Fruit skewer is also good for your parties, it's attractive specially if you have good variety of fruits.
We just need some skewers and variety of fruits. My leftover fruits are  just strawberries, grapes and persimmon. So I just sliced the strawberries into halves, then peeled the persimmon and sliced it to my desired pieces then put it on the skewers together with the grapes, after all the fruits were consumed, it is now ready to be served.
Enjoy eating!
