How do I cut heart shapes from the fruits?

Use a small heart-shaped cookie cutter to press into halved strawberries and watermelon slices gently, creating uniform heart shapes.

Can I prepare the skewers in advance?

It's best to assemble the skewers shortly before serving to maintain freshness and prevent the fruits from drying out.

Agave syrup is a great vegan option that adds a subtle sweetness and works well drizzled over the fruit skewers.

Use wooden or bamboo skewers along with a small heart-shaped cookie cutter, a sharp knife, and a cutting board for easy preparation.

Consider adding other red fruits like cherries or red grapes for different textures and flavors while keeping the red color theme.
