Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz strawberries, hulled and halved
- 8 oz raspberries
- 6 oz pomegranate arils
- 8 oz cherry tomatoes
- 8 oz mini pepperoni or salami rounds
- 8 oz cubed pepper jack cheese
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella balls
- 8 oz white cheddar cubes
- 6 oz white chocolate pretzels
- 8 oz yogurt-covered raisins
- 6 oz white chocolate-covered almonds
- 8 oz coconut date rolls
- Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish
- Optional: candy canes for decoration
Instructions
- Start with a large rectangular serving board or tray covered with parchment paper.
- Sketch a loose candy cane shape on the parchment with pencil as your guide (you’ll remove the paper before serving).
- Begin laying out red ingredients (strawberries, raspberries, pomegranate, tomatoes, and pepperoni) in thick stripes forming the red parts of the candy cane.
- Alternate with white ingredients (cheeses, white chocolate items, and coconut date rolls) to create the white stripes.
- Keep the outer edge of the candy cane clean and defined, working from the outside inward.
- Fill any gaps with smaller items like yogurt-covered raisins or pomegranate arils.
- Add small sprigs of rosemary around the outside edge to mimic pine needles.
- For extra flair, place a few real candy canes around your board or use them as serving utensils by breaking off the curved end.
- Remove the parchment paper guide gently before serving.
- Place small serving spoons or toothpicks nearby for easy serving.
