Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz round gouda or brie cheese (for the center of the ornament)
- 6 oz prosciutto, loosely rolled into small roses
- 6 oz salami, folded into quarters
- 4 oz pepperoni slices
- 4 oz cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
- 1 cup red grapes
- ½ cup green olives
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup pistachios, shelled
- ¼ cup blueberries
- ¼ cup blackberries
- Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 3 breadsticks (for the ornament “hanger”)
- Assorted crackers (to serve alongside)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fig jam
Instructions
- Start with a large round platter or board as your base.
- Place the round of gouda or brie in the center of your platter – this forms the main body of your ornament.
- Arrange prosciutto roses in a circle around the center cheese, forming the first “ring” of your ornament.
- Create a second ring using alternating groups of folded salami, pepperoni, and cheddar cubes.
- Make a third, outer ring using the fruits and nuts – group red items (cranberries, red grapes) together, then green items (olives, pistachios), and dark items (blackberries, blueberries) to create color blocks.
- At the top of your ornament, create a “ribbon” design using strategically placed rows of green olives and cranberries.
- Break breadsticks in half and arrange them at the very top of your ornament to create the look of an ornament hanger.
- Tuck small sprigs of rosemary between sections for color and a festive aroma.
- Place small bowls of honey and fig jam near the board for dipping.
- Arrange crackers in a half-circle at the bottom of your platter to complete the presentation.
