How do I create the heart shapes from the fruits?

Use a small heart-shaped cookie cutter to gently press into halved strawberries and watermelon slices to form consistent shapes.

Can I substitute the fruits with other red varieties?

Yes, cherries or red grapes can be used as alternatives or additions to diversify flavors and textures.

Adding honey or agave syrup is optional. It enhances sweetness but the natural fruit flavors stand well on their own.

Assemble the skewers shortly before serving or refrigerate them briefly to maintain freshness and texture.

For optimal freshness, prepare the fruit shapes in advance but assemble skewers just before serving.
