How to Make a Fall Charcuterie Board

Pour the apricot jam and honey into two small bowls. Place them on opposite sides of your large serving board or platter to act as anchors for the other ingredients.

Arrange the brie and goat cheese on opposite ends of the board, near the jam and honey bowls.

Tips for Building the Best Charcuterie Board

Anchor the Large Items First: Start by placing bowls of jam and honey, followed by the cheeses and meats. Once these larger items are down, fill in the gaps with crackers, fruits, and nuts.
Add Color and Texture: Use garnishes like fresh rosemary and a variety of colorful fruits and meats to make the board visually appealing.
Easy-to-Grab Foods: Choose finger foods that are easy to pick up. If there’s space, slice or cube cheese, add toothpicks, and provide small napkins or plates.

Yes! You can prepare some parts of the board up to 8 hours in advance. Just cover it loosely with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge.

For best results, wait to slice the apple and pear until right before serving to prevent browning.

Add ingredients like that dry out or become stale, like crackers and bread, just be serving.

Feel free to swap out the fruits and nuts for your favorites! Try figs, dried cranberries, or almonds.

You can use different cured meats or add some hard cheeses. We love to add pepperoni slices and cubed parmesan cheese!

Fall Charcuterie Board Serving Suggestions

Wine Pairings: Serve with a white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a light red like Pinot Noir.

Non-Alcoholic Drinks: Offer spiced apple cider, cranberry spritzers, or sparkling water with a slice of lemon or orange.

Dessert Pairing: Keep the fall theme going with small slices of pumpkin pie or pecan pie cheesecake.

Additional Toppings: Include spreads like fig jam, whole grain mustard, or a balsamic glaze for drizzling.

Side Dishes: Pair the charcuterie board with sides like maple bourbon brussels sprouts or roasted butternut squash.

How to Store Leftovers

Cheeses and Meats: Wrap leftover cheese and meats in plastic wrap or place them in airtight containers. They’ll stay fresh for 2-3 days in the fridge.
Fruits and Nuts: Store fruits and nuts in separate airtight containers. Apples and pears may brown, so it’s best to eat those as soon as possible.
