1 can pineapple chunks, drained, (20 oz), reserve juice

1 pint strawberries, washed, stems removed

1 cantaloupe, fresh-cut

1 honeydew melon, fresh-cut


Cut each banana into six chunks.  Dip chunks in reserved pineapple juice. Thread a strawberry, cantaloupe chunk, a grape, pineapple chunk, honeydew melon chunk, and a banana chunk on each skewer.  Add more fruit until skewer is full.
