1. Selecting Your Ingredients:
I had no theme for this board besides sweet and savoury.
- Assorted cured meats (prosciutto, salami, chorizo)
- Some cheeses like bousin, and a hard cheese
- Fresh and dried fruits (grapes, figs, apples, and apricots)
- Nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pistachios)
- A variety of crackers and bread
- Olives and pickles and dips
- Honey or fruit preserves
- Hot jam is my go-to!
2. Choosing the Right Board:
Without breaking the bank it’s perfectly okay to use what you have on hand! Our elevated wood cutting board is perfect for sharing and has enough space to keep the ornaments on display.
3. Arranging Your Spread:
This is the fun part. You become the artist, it’s how you like to visual the board coming together.
4. Adding Accompaniments:
If you are going with a theme it’s good to pick some ornaments that fit but if not you want to ensure you arrange the board in an appealing way. Don’t worry about leaving any space , it’s more important to ensure you place the food in ways that don’t comprise their texture and tastes.
5. Conclusion:
It doesn’t have to be perfect! But fun, practical and delicious are the goals. Look at your masterpiece and dig in.
