There isn’t a strict recipe to follow when building a grazing board. Often, a variety of sweet & salty with smooth & crunchy is what makes a grazing board appealing to look at and delicious to eat!
Ingredients
Directions
To start, prepare the sugared berries for decoration.
Stir 100g of caster sugar and 100ml of water in a small saucepan and bring to boil on medium heat, occasionally stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Remove from the heat and leave cool completely.
Dip rinsed dried berries in the cold sugar syrup and roll in the remaining 50g of caster sugar. Leave berries to dry on a small plate or tray until needed.
Grab a large flat serving board and place small jars or bowls of dips, chutney or pickled red onions around your board.
Next, place the larger ingredients like slices of hard cheese, bunches of grapes and crackers in the centre of the board. Space similar items apart for impact, i.e. If you have three varieties of cheese, place them at 2, 6 & 10 o’clock. TOP TIP: Be sure not to place juicy ingredients like cut strawberries beside items that can get soggy, like crackers.
Add your meats! There are many ways to incorporate meat into your grazing board. Try ruffle up large slices of cured meats or roll up slices of parma ham to add texture to the board.
Once all the larger ingredients are placed, use smaller items to fi ll in the gaps, such as berries, nuts or olives.
Tuck fresh springs of rosemary between ingredients and place a few frosty-looking sugared berries on top to decorate.
Serve your board with honey to drizzle over the cheeses & cured meats.
Grab some cheese knives and toothpicks for serving and enjoy with friends.
