This guide on How to Make a Charcuterie Board will help you put together the most epic board ever. Assorted cured meats, cheeses, crackers, nuts, dried fruits, olives, and more. Impress your family and friends with a beautiful, colorful and creative charcuterie board. Perfect for the holiday season and Christmas appetizer.
Place large board or platter on a flat surface. Start by laying cheeses and any bowls or jars and any whole fruits. I like pointing my cheeses to the outside so that it's easier for guests to cut or dip into them. For this charcuterie board I started by placing my persimmons around the board. Then the cheese bricks and cubed my gouda. Then I placed a bowl of olives and a small jar of fig jam.
