Build Your Own Cheese or Charcuterie Board with Fresh Figs, Cheeses, Chutney, and Cured Meats

The beauty of a cheeseboard or charcuterie platter is that you can add or take away any ingredients you want, however it suits your palate or the season. Fresh figs are a delicious indulgence as summer comes to an end, so eat up while you can!

Suggestions:

• Fresh black mission figs, halved and whole
• Brie, sliced
• A savory chutney or quince paste
• Cubed or sliced hard and soft cheeses, such as Gouda, Brie, Cheddars, Blues, goat cheese, Swiss, or Gruyere
• Cured meats such as salami and prosciutto
• Dried fruits, such as Blenheim apricots, cranberries, apple rings

Directions: Arrange the ingredients on a platter in an appealing way, positioning similar items across from each other instead of directly next to each other. Enjoy!
