Coconut Rockets

 

 

1/2 cup shredded coconut, toasted

8 large strawberries, washed

2 kiwi fruit, peeled, quartered

2 small bananas, cut crosswise in 8 equal pieces

4 teaspoons clear honey (-OR- other sticky syrup)

8 skewers

 

 

1. Place coconut on a plate.

 

2. Thread fruit on skewers, ending with a strawberry tip upright

to shape a conical rocket nose.

 

3. Brush with honey; roll in coconut to coat.

 

 

 

VARIATION: Use whatever in-season fruit you prefer.

 

TIP: For younger kids, use ice-block sticks or trim sharp tips off

skewers.

 

TIP: If using bananas, drizzle with lemon juice to prevent discolouring.

 

 

 

Makes 8.
