How to Make a Charcuterie Board

Step 1

On large wooden cutting board (I used one that is about 15x20") or plate arrange cheeses randomly across the board. Place mozzarella balls in a small dish to keep them from rolling around.

Step 2

Next, cut meats into small servings and place on the board. Try to use a variety of sizes and textures randomly over the board.

Step 3

Place fruit preserves and honey in little bowls or serving cups and place on the board.

Step 4

Wash all fresh fruits and vegetables and cut into small serving sizes. Place fruit, dried fruit, vegetables, and nuts randomly across the board, again trying to use a variety of textures on different parts of the board.

Step 5

Fill in all the empty spaces you can. If you have a lot of empty spaces, fill them with crackers or serve the crackers on the side.
