Recipe Guide

How do I cut heart shapes from the fruits?

Use a small heart-shaped cookie cutter to press into halved strawberries and watermelon slices gently, creating uniform heart shapes.

Can I prepare the skewers in advance?

It's best to assemble the skewers shortly before serving to maintain freshness and prevent the fruits from drying out.

What are good alternatives to honey for garnish?

Agave syrup is a great vegan option that adds a subtle sweetness and works well drizzled over the fruit skewers.

What tools are recommended for assembly?

Use wooden or bamboo skewers along with a small heart-shaped cookie cutter, a sharp knife, and a cutting board for easy preparation.

How can I vary the fruit selection?

Consider adding other red fruits like cherries or red grapes for different textures and flavors while keeping the red color theme.
