# What You Need:
→ Fruits
01 - 1 cup seedless green grapes

# Steps:
01 - Wash and dry all fruits thoroughly. Hull strawberries and cut in half if large. Leave grapes whole and ensure pineapple chunks are bite-sized.
02 - Cut both cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses into uniform 1-inch cubes. Keep cubes chilled until assembly to maintain firm texture.

# Expert Hints:
01 -
- The sweet and creamy combo hits every single craving without any heavy cooking
- They look genuinely impressive but come together in literally fifteen minutes flat
02 -
- Dry your fruit completely after washing or the moisture will make the cheese get soggy way too fast
- Thread everything tightly so nothing spins around when someone tries to take a bite off the skewer
03 -
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from splintering or burning if you ever decide to grill them
- Cube your cheese when it is cold from the refrigerator for cleaner cuts and more uniform pieces
