Ingredients
- Sliced meats
- Hard cheeses cut into stars
- Soft cheeses
- Fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries
- Crackers or red, white and blue chips
- Red jam or another seasonal jam
- 4th of July cookies
Instructions
- Get a board and place cups and little spreading knives where you would like them
- Add some dips, sauce or berries in the little cups as well as things like pickles which are wet and can make a mess
- Add cheeses around the board, I recommend at least three varieties. Make sure the hard cheeses are cut into star shapes.
- Add the cured meats, crackers, fruits and veggies (any red, white, and blue produce will work)
- Finish by garnishing with 4th of July cookies and filling in gaps on the board.
Notes
Make ahead, storage, and freezing instructions
To make ahead: Keep the board chilled until ready to serve to make sure that the cheeses and meats stay fresh throughout your celebration. You can make the board up to 2 hours ahead of time. To store - It's best to put all items that need refrigeration, such as cheeses, meats, and dips, into airtight containers. They can then be refrigerated for a couple of days. Crackers, fruits, cookies, and non-refrigerated items can be placed in containers and bags and stored at room temperature in the pantry. To freeze - I don't recommend freezing after assembling the festive board.Recipe variations
- Different fruits: Feel free to add red apples, cherries, bananas, plums, or any other red, white, and blue fruit. It's truly up to personal preference.
- Decorations: I like to add little American flags, decorative toothpicks, or festive napkins to the board to give it an extra patriotic kick.
- Gluten-free: If you're catering to a gluten allergy, feel free to use all gluten free crackers for a celiac friendly charcuterie board.
- Vegetarian: Swap the meats for vegetarian options like roasted chickpeas, more cheeses, extra veggies, etc.
