Tip!
If you don’t like the fruit used for some of these 4th of July fruit recipes, try out your favorite fruit that’s a similar color instead. Blueberries can be replaced with blackberries. Strawberries can be replaced with cherries, raspberries, and watermelon in most cases! Bananas and apples both make great white fruit options!
