Thanksgiving Charcuterie Board

Create a salami river by folding slices of salami in half, then folding them back and forth in an accordion style. Line them up to form a 'river'.

Make a pepperoni rose by layering slices of pepperoni around the rim of a small bowl or glass, overlapping each slice. Add a few more layers, then flip the bowl over onto the board to release the rose.

Using small letter cookie cutters, cut out the word 'THANKFUL' from the block of cheddar cheese.

Arrange the salami river, pepperoni rose, and cheese letters on your charcuterie board.

Slice the wedge of hard cheese and fan the slices out on the board.

Begin filling in the board with crackers and dried apple chips.

Place small jars of honey and fig jam on the board. Add fresh figs around the board for color and flavor.

Fill in the remaining gaps with pumpkin spice pretzels, candied pecans, and pieces of dark chocolate bark.

Finish by adding a cluster of red grapes and making any final adjustments to create a full and abundant look.
