These coconut- and lime-infused fruit bites are a fabulous appetizer, snack, or dessert. Threading the fruit onto skewers makes for a fun presentation and keeps the flavors of each fruit distinct, but if you don’t have skewers, a bowl or plate will work fine. If fresh fruit is not at its peak, you can use frozen for this recipe.
