A winter charcuterie board is a festive, cozy appetizer featuring a delicious mix of cured meats, cheeses, seasonal fruits, nuts, and spreads. It’s perfect for holiday gatherings or cold-weather entertaining with zero cooking required.

Ingredients

  • Cured meats: salami, speck, soppressata
  • Cheeses: brie, aged cheddar, blue cheese, gouda, goat cheese
  • Fresh fruits: pears, apples, grapes, figs, pomegranate seeds
  • Dried fruits: apricots, cranberries, dates
  • Nuts: candied pecans, walnuts, almonds
  • Crackers and rustic bread slices
  • Dark chocolate or chocolate bark
  • Spreads: fig jam, honey, grainy mustard
  • Fresh herbs: rosemary or thyme sprigs (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place cheeses on the board first, spacing them out and pre-slicing some for easy serving.
  2. Arrange cured meats in ribbons, folds, or rosettes around the cheeses.
  3. Add fresh fruits like sliced pears, apple wedges, grape clusters, and pomegranate seeds.
  4. Place dried fruits and nuts in small piles near cheese pairings.
  5. Add crackers and bread slices around the edges of the board.
  6. Spoon jams, honey, and mustard into small bowls and place them on the board.
  7. Garnish with fresh herbs for a festive touch. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Dip apple and pear slices in lemon water to prevent browning.
  • Use spiced or flavored crackers for added winter flair.
  • Mini cookies or gingerbread add a sweet surprise.
  • Assemble just before serving to keep everything fresh.
  • Leftover meats and cheeses store well for up to 4 days.
