Such an easy and fun idea! Thinking of all the variations of freezing fruit on a skewer!
Raspberries? Cantaloupe? Kiwi? Blueberries?
Pineapple?
I wonder how long they will last in the freezer?
It lasts for a year if stored correctly. A tightly closed ziploc bag with minimal air in the freezer is the best form of storage.
