It’s always fun to serve food with a holiday twist like these American Flag Fruit Skewers. Make fresh fruit skewers for a special 4th of July holiday treat.
I enjoy entertaining and even when we don’t have guests, I love to serve foodies with a unique presentation.
I have been seeing all the different Flag fruit skewers everywhere and decided to try it for the Fourth of July.
