FAQ

  • Can I use different types of cheese and fruit?

    Yes, feel free to experiment with other cheeses and fruits. Consider using mozzarella balls, watermelon, or blackberries. Just make sure the flavors complement each other.
  • Can I make the skewers ahead of time?

    Yes, you can assemble the skewers a few hours in advance. Store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve. However, wait to drizzle with the mint-honey mixture until just before serving to prevent the skewers from becoming soggy.
  • What if I don't have fresh mint?

    If you don't have fresh mint, you can omit it or use a pinch of dried mint. However, fresh mint provides the best flavor and aroma.
