How to Make Fruit Sunburst

  1. Cut both cantaloupes in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a spoon.
  2. Place one cantaloupe half, cut-side down, on a cutting board. Carefully peel the rind using a sharp knife.
  3. This peeled cantaloupe half will serve as the base for your Fruit Sunburst.
  4. Using a melon baller or a small ice cream scoop (approximately 1-inch diameter), create melon balls from the watermelon and the remaining three cantaloupe halves.
  5. Wash and hull the strawberries. Set aside.
  6. Thread 6-7 melon balls onto each skewer, alternating watermelon and cantaloupe for a colorful effect. Leave about 2 inches of skewer at the bottom.
  7. Top each skewer with a strawberry to add a pop of color and flavor.
  8. Gently insert the skewers into the peeled cantaloupe base, arranging them attractively.
  9. Repeat steps 6-8 until all the fruit is used. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for optimal freshness.
