Ingredients for a Memorial Day Charcuterie Board

• 2 – 4oz. package sliced salami
• 1 – 4oz. package sliced prosciutto
• 1-2 cups fresh strawberries
• 1-2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1-2 cups fresh blackberries
• 1-2 cups fresh raspberries
• 1 soft brie wedge
• 6-8 oz white cheddar variety
• 8-10 Babybel cheese rounds
• 2 Tbsp. raspberry jam
• 2-3 cracker varieties

An easy rule of thumb to follow is to allow

• 3-4 slices of meat per person in a variety of flavors and textures.
• 1-2 ounces of cheese per person in a variety of flavors and textures.

How to cut out stars for your Memorial Day charcuterie board

You’ll need a small star-shaped cookie cutter. To cut out the shape on the brie wheel, gently press into the rind and then remove. Then fill with the jam. Repeat with the red wax coating on the Babybel rounds.

To cut out stars from the white cheddar, thinly slice the cheese block, then cut out stars from the thin slice.

How do you make a charcuterie board step by step?

1. Start by selecting the right board for your spread. You can use large cutting boards, slate boards, or large marble or ceramic platters.
2. Think of your board as a blank canvas and let your creativity flow. I recommend starting with the larger items and then filling in from there. Start by adding any small bowls you may use for spreads. Use the colors of the ingredients to create a red, white, and blue theme.

Recipe FAQs and Notes

How big should a charcuterie board be?

This will depend on how many people you are serving. If you’re serving 2-4 people, a small 12-14 inch round board would be a sufficient size. If you’re serving a larger group, you’ll want to go with a larger round board or large paddle-style board.

How early can you prepare a charcuterie board?

You can slice the cheese and any fruits the night before and refrigerate in an air-tight container overnight. You can also fold any meats and place them into a glass storage container to refrigerate overnight.
