Steps:
- On a large cutting board or platter, lay out the salami, ham, baguette and crackers. Place the bread sticks upright in a small glass jar. Add the olives and pickles to the board in small bowls, if you like, along with the jams in small bowls or jars. Put the Pimento Cheese on the board in a small bowl, along with a knife for spreading. Scatter Candied Pecans decoratively over the board and serve.
- Stir together the cream cheese, mayonnaise and hot sauce in a medium bowl until smooth. Stir in the pimentos, celery, Cheddar, blue cheese, onion powder and paprika. Season with salt and pepper and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Stir together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne and salt in a medium bowl.
- Beat the egg white in a large bowl with a hand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Add the pecans and toss to coat. Add the sugar mixture and stir gently until the pecans are well coated.
- Spread the pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until crisp and deep golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove the candied pecans from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet, about 10 minutes, before breaking them apart. They will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:
- Choose your board, depending on your party size. You could always use multiple boards if needed. See my notes in the post for more board ideas and links.
- Start with the cheese: I start with the cheese because it anchors the board. Work in odd numbers, so, depending on the size of your party, choose 3, 5, or 7 types of cheeses to place around the board.
- Fold and add the meats: check out my video below for a visual on fun ways to fold cured meats before placing them on the board, like folding them in half and fanning them out like a dec of cards, or folding them in half twice, so they are easy to grab. For thin meat (like prosciutto) fold them in a light and airy ribbon.
- Add savory and sweet accompaniments. Fill in some of the gaps with savory and sweet. Separate colors in a way that allows the brightest colors to stand out and place foods together that pair well together. For example, mustard, briny foods and nuts near salami and sopresseta, and sharp cheeses like parmesan. Pair sweet accompaniments like fresh fruit, jams, and candied nuts, near the brie cheese or goat cheese. Cheddar cheese pairs well with savory and sweet.
- Fill in extra space with crackers, and then any extra gaps with nuts or fruit.

- Select a variety of meat textures. Charcuterie should vary by texture, spice profile and slicing thickness to create myriad flavor combinations for food and wine pairing.
- Choose meats that pair well with wine. When following tip #1, a charcuterie board with an array of different cuts and textures lends itself to more versatility with wine pairing.
- Pair with higher acid, lower alcohol wines. Many experts would argue that fuller-bodied red and white wines are too bold for light charcuterie meats and cheeses, but there are always exceptions to the rules.
- Choose different cheeses that complement specific wines. What is a charcuterie board if not featuring a variety of cheeses with different mouthfeel, fat content and milk types?
- Purchase the right quantity. We recommend purchasing around 2-3 ounces per person per meat for an appetizer portion or 5-6 ounces per person for a cocktail reception.
- Slice meats cold and not too far in advance. Charcuterie oxidizes quickly and loses its appealing vibrant color and freshness. For prosciutto and salami, slice meats 1-2 hours in advance.
- Remember accoutrements. The details make a charcuterie board unique. Serve a simple crusty bread heated in the oven just prior to serving. In addition, the sweetness and textural contrast of a fruit crostini (see our recipe) serves as a foil to the salt and richness of charcuterie and cheese.
- Create an elegant presentation. Take a few extra minutes to organize your meats, cheeses and accoutrements. We like to fold lighter meats into rosettes, cut the cheeses into varying sizes for visual intrigue (cheddar into squares and sheep’s milk into triangles) and turn the sliced salami so that pieces fan out from the front of the platter.
- Add a homemade surprise. A charcuterie board can be a place to showcase your creativity and culinary prowess. Even when purchasing most of your charcuterie from respected purveyors, we always incorporate rillettes or pate made at home.
- Have fun. Keep experimenting. Trust your own palate and you’ll find the wine and food pairing combinations best suited to your taste. Bonus tip: Don’t forget the Jordan Cabernet Sauvignon.

- Stock up on a solid selection. When you're shopping for a charcuterie board, you'll want to get three to five different types of meats. As with a cheese board, try and mix up the colors, textures and flavors.
- But only buy what you need. Cured meats can get kind of expensive, and there's no need to go overboard in buying. Aim for about two ounces of meat per person, total.
- The slice is right. Oftentimes, these meats are rich and salty. So when you're shopping, ask the person at the counter to slice the meat as thinly as possible.
- Pick the perfect sides. Accompaniments make charcuterie look and taste even better, so pick up some nuts, dried or fresh fruit, olives, or pickles, plus one or two sauces, like mustard, honey, or tapenade.
- Consider your serving strategy. Now you're ready to build! You want to use something large and flat as a base: a wooden or slate board provides a nice contrast with the color of the meat, though you could also use a platter or large plate.
- Consider the composition. To start, arrange your small bowls off-center, and place the meat and accompaniments around them. As you work, think about the overall look: place non-meaty elements like crackers, fruit, and nuts between the various kinds of charcuterie, and change up the look of the meat itself.
- Prep it in advance. Don't be afraid to make this a few hours before your party—just cover with plastic and refrigerate until you're ready to serve. (More than a few hours, though, and the meat might start to dry out.)
