Ingredients

    1 Cup Cubed Cheese - Any variety that will not crumble

    1 Cup Cubed Pineapple - Sweetened or unsweetened, drained

    1 Grapefruit or Large Orange

    Toothpicks

Tips

*This is a unique recipe I grew up with in New Zealand as a child; great for parties of any kind, any time of the year.

*The cheese and pineapple are best when served chilled.

*The nutritional value varies depending on your serving size and the cheese and pineapple you select.

*Prep time varies, depending on if you have to cube the cheese and/or pineapple first.

*Using colored toothpicks is okay, but the coloring may or may not bleed onto the food.

*You could get creative and substitute other fruits instead of pineapple (such as kiwi fruit or blueberries) but the pineapple compliments cheese the best in my opinion.

*Using sharp cheddar cheese is awesome, as is pepper jack cheese and even string cheese.

*Adding pitted olives to a few picks makes it appear "fancier" and is also tasty.

*It could pair nicely with a greek yogurt-based fruit dip on the side.

*Fun for children to help.

*I dare you not to nibble as you make it! :)


Directions

1. Slice off the bottom of the grapefruit or large orange so it will sit still on your serving plate.

2. Cube pineapple and cheese if not already cubed, each piece should be approximately 1" x 1".

3. Slide 1 piece of pineapple and 1 piece of cheese on to toothpicks.

4. Stick the toothpicks into the grapefruit or large orange, and is easiest if you start at the bottom and work upward.

5. IF you have time, cover with plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator prior to serving.
