Charcuterie board arranged with cured meats, artisan cheeses, fresh fruit, crackers, and Jackson's kettle chips

Ingredients

  • Cured meat
  • Cheese
  • Crackers and chips
  • Nuts and chocolate
  • Jam and condiments
  • Fruit

Instructions

  1. Select a large wooden or marble board as the base for your charcuterie spread.
  2. Place a variety of cheeses on the board. For this board, we used a large wedge of brie, a block of cheddar, and toscano cheese with black pepper.
  3. Place small bowls of pickles, chocolate-covered fruit, and red pepper jelly strategically around the board.
  4. Arrange slices of cured meats like prosciutto and salami around the cheese and bowls. Fold or roll the slices for an elegant presentation.
  5. Add fruit to your board for pops of color and freshness.
  6. Scatter a variety of crackers and bread slices near the cheese.
  7. Incorporate sweet elements like dates and chocolate covered chips. We used Jackson's Wavy Sea Salt Sweet Potato Chips and Jackson's Sea Salt Kettle Chips.
  8. Fill any remaining spaces with more crackers, nuts, or fruit slices.

Serving Suggestions

Your charcuterie board is now ready to impress. If you are preparing a larger party spread, pair your board with other savory bites like our Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fritters or crispy Air Fryer Onion Rings for even more delicious crunch. Enjoy!
