Method
1
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning during serving and handling.
2
Pat the drained litchi fruit dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then set aside with the other prepared fruits.
3
Thread the fruits onto each skewer in an alternating pattern: begin with a banana slice, followed by a watermelon chunk, then a litchi, a strawberry, and repeat until the skewer is filled, leaving about 1 inch at the handle end.
4
Arrange the filled skewers on a serving platter or plate, spacing them evenly.
5
Pour the plum sauce into a small dipping bowl and place it in the center of the platter alongside the skewers.
6
Serve immediately at room temperature, instructing guests to dip each fruit-laden skewer into the plum sauce before eating.
