How should I prepare the pineapple for skewering?

Peel, core, and cut the pineapple into bite-sized chunks to ensure easy threading and consistent bite sizes on the skewers.

Can I substitute other fruits in this dish?

Yes, fruits such as grapes, kiwi, or melon can be added or swapped to introduce different flavors and textures.

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 10 minutes before assembling to reduce the chance of splitting during preparation.

Sprinkle chopped fresh mint leaves, drizzle honey or agave syrup, and add a touch of lime zest for an extra burst of freshness.

Arrange the skewers on a serving platter and consider offering yogurt or melted dark chocolate dips to complement the fruit flavors.
