You can store it for quite a while in the fridge.
• For the fruit skewers, wash the fruit and peel, if necessary. Slice the bananas and kiwi. Cut larger fruit like melon and pineapple into chunks, and leave berries whole.

• If you would like to freeze the fruit, assemble the skewers and then place them on a baking sheet. Set the whole pan into the freezer and freeze until firm, this will take several hours. Remove the skewers shortly before serving. Note: For freezing use berries, grapes, banana and kiwi.
