# How-To:
01 - Wash and dry all fruits thoroughly. Hull strawberries and halve them if large. Leave grapes and pineapple chunks whole.
02 - Cut both cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses into uniform 1-inch cubes for consistent threading onto skewers.
03 - Thread each wooden skewer with alternating fruits and cheese cubes, mixing colors and varieties for maximum visual appeal. Continue until skewer is nearly full, leaving 1 inch at the bottom for handling.
04 - Arrange finished kabobs on a serving platter. Scatter fresh mint leaves over the top as a fragrant garnish, if desired.
05 - Serve kabobs chilled or at room temperature. For optimal freshness and texture, consume within 2 hours of assembly.
