Yum im gonna use this at my next work pot luck!! thanks betty!!!

[LESTER7L1]

this is easy, lite! , lovely! Thank you Betty.

Beautiful fruit you have there!

[ohpineapples]

That looks yummy! That would look great on a platter at a BBQ. It would look really pretty if I made other ones alternating those in a cirlce on a platter. Like use one with the ones you made and alternate those in a cirle with green melon ones. That would look very pretty and lots of color for company.

[Robind0514]

Beautiful idea, I love it - thanks!

[thelaurels13]

[LilPrinces5]

[tidyboy13]

omg i thought cantelope was a animal! we dont have that here in the UK i dont think ?? :)

[bettyskitchen]

@tidyboy13 You must be thinking of an antelope! A canteloupe is a delicious melon. It is sometimes called a muskmelon.

--Betty :)

[JimmyMacJones]

[bettyskitchen]

@JimboJitsu Thanks, Jimbo! I hope you are having a terrific day!

--Betty :)

[SSmlove]

i'm allergic to pineapple so what should i substitute for it?

[bettyskitchen]

@SSmlove I think fresh peaches would take the place of pineapple very well. However, for fruit kebabs you can make them all melon, or add fruits like kiwi, apples, pears, oranges, grapes, blackberries, blueberries---just anything that you like, where the colors contrast and the flavors blend.

--Betty :).

[Kingaskong1234]

That is the weirdest dress Ive ever seen.  It looks nice.

[bettyskitchen]

@Kingaskong1234 I get comments on my clothes all the time--I'm glad you liked it (even if it is weird!).

--Betty :)

[nycradiostar]

Lovely! Thanks Betty! 2 questions: a) what are the ingredients for the fruit dip? b) would you recommend grilling these perhaps?

[bettyskitchen]

@nycradiostar You can find the recipe for the dip in bettyskitchen. Just search for Friendship Dip. I think fruit is great grilled, particularly pineapple. I've never grilled strawberries or melons. You could use something like peaches, perhaps.

--Betty :)

[nycradiostar]

@bettyskitchen AWESOME! Thank you! <3

[richardpeej]

They would have been lovely to have ealier today Betty as it has been very hot here in the UK and your fruit kebabs look so refreshing -take care, Richard :-)

[bettyskitchen]

@richardpeej Thanks, Richard.  We also enjoy fruit on hot days!

I hope your day is great!

--Betty :)

[dempss1]

i was wondering if you knew when picking

a pineapple how do you know when its

a sweet pineapple and not sour?

please && thankyou (x

[bettyskitchen]

@dempss1 When you are looking at the fruit, all pineapples look basically the same. Some will look a little better than others. Choose a pineapple that is partially turning yellow--1/3 or less of the pineapple should be yellow. Any more than that will be over-ripe. You can also try to pull out one of the green stems off of the top. A really (almost over-ripe) pineapple will allow you to pull one out. You should probably pick one that is hard to pull.

--Betty :)

[Stef6788]

@dempss1 Hey,

I always stand in the store and smell them. I know people look at me like I'm weird but whatever... If the pineapple is not refridgerated it should smell sweet but not overly sweet because that might mean it's overripe. After a couple of buys you'll get the hang of it.

[ilikethewok]

Looks so flavorful!! Thx for this video Betty.

[bettyskitchen]

@ilikethewok Thanks for the lovely comment!

[dollladie]

Betty, when I was growing up, my grandmother celebrated every special occasion with these kebabs! Sometimes she cut them small and used those little plastic spears that look like swords. My favorite was pineapple, grapes, and cheddar! These are beautiful! Thank you so much!

[bettyskitchen]

@dollladie Pineapples, grapes, and cheddar sounds wonderful! Thanks for your lovely comment!

--Betty  :)

@tennisdiva Thanks!

[NinaLuvsFriedChicken]

oww yum! ideal for the Summer :)

[bettyskitchen]

@NinaLuvsFriedChicken That's what I was thinking! We're having sunny, warm days, and fruit is just wonderful at this time of the year!

--Betty :)

[tuffydoodle]

My daughter made the fruit dip yesterday and we had it on strawberries, grapes, pineapple and honeydew, I couldn't find a good canteloupe at the store. We didn't do them on kebabs so it wasn't as pretty as yours but it was absolutely delicious.

[bettyskitchen]

@tuffydoodle Thanks for the great feedback on the dip. This is just another way you can present your fruits!

--Betty :)

[lillyz18]

very nicely done thank you betty

[bettyskitchen]

@lillyz18 Thanks! You are welcome for the video!

--Betty :)

[itsssannie]

@itsssannie Thanks for your nice comment!

--Betty :)

[soonfully]

Betty I am curious what kind of big knives do you like. Also can you do a tutorial on sharpening knives please?

[bettyskitchen]

@soonfully I use Chicago Cutlery. I use a paring knife, bread knife, and a chef's knife most often. I will try to come up with a segment on knives after I catch up on a few recipes!

--Betty :)

[Reddylion]

wow wow wow i am giving yu thumbs up for those amazing fruits.

[bettyskitchen]

@Reddylion Thanks! I appreciate your comment!

--Betty :)

[inmeeden]

Don't forget to peel off the peeling! I forgot to do that when I did it!

[bettyskitchen]

@inmeeden It wouldn't be great to have the peelings on--but I could manage to eat the cantaloupe holding the peeling in my hand, I think! Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[makeupbynumbers]

you spell kabobs weird haha. I love all kinds of kabobs..meat kabobs with pineapple, onion, green pepper and tomato..super yummy. and putting the fruit on a stick does really make it look fancy. I love it!

[bettyskitchen]

@makeupbynumbers I've never seen it spelled kabobs before! I guess it depends on where you are from! Thanks for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[baiboo]

@makeupbynumber:s kabab, kebab, kabob all are correct :)

[kwelgirl15]

I was just looking for a light dessert for my party tonight this is perfect! Thanks Betty!

[bettyskitchen]

@kwelgirl15 I'm glad you found an idea you can use! Thanks for your sweet comment!
