Wash all of your fruits and get ready for some fun making these double-hull fruit waʻa (canoes)! You can use all of these fruits in a number of ways just be aware of your serving sizes when slicing and serving.
If using pineapple, cut the top and bottom off then cut and remove the skin.
Slice the pineapple or papaya lengthwise into canoe-like shapes to make the hull of the canoe. Remove the core and the seeds.
Place two “hulls” side by side. To connect them, create cross beams with bananas.
First peel then slice the banana in half & attach to the pineapple or papaya with toothpicks. See picture.
To create the sails, slice grapefruit in rounds then slice those rounds in half and attach upright to pineapple or papaya with toothpicks.
If you are making these waʻa with keiki please supervise and assist them with toothpicks.
Notes
*Enjoy sailing your waʻa before snacking!
