How to make a Christmas charcuterie board
Start with the base. You could use wood, slate or even brown paper if you’re setting up a charcuterie table.
If you are serving mini charcuterie boards you might opt for mini wooden chopping boards. You can also get mini slates too that work great!
If you’re setting up a charcuterie table, make sure the table is solid enough that it won’t easily collapse – the last thing you want is for the food to be on the floor. You will rely heavily on this going right.
You can buy large rolls of brown paper to set up your table as a clean surface.
How to make a Christmas charcuterie tree
Gather your base (boards, slates or prepare your charcuterie table) and all the food items you want to include in your Christmas charcuterie tree.
Create a template with paper or string of the outline of the tree to help guide you in the placement of the pieces of food if needed. You could even draw out a plan of how it will look before assembling.
