Ingredients
- red fruit, like strawberries, raspberries, cherries, watermelon

- blue fruit like blueberries, blackberries, black grapes
Instructions
- Wash and cut up your favorite red, white, and blue fruit.
- In clear cups, arrange the fruit in layers.
- If you're making these in advance, put the white layer in top to prevent the other colors from bleeding into the white fruit.

Notes
Note: to prevent white fruit from browning, toss with a little citrus juice. Lemon juice, lime juice, or orange juice will all work. Depends on what flavor combo you like.
