Christmas Charcuterie Board

Slice the cheddar into long, thin right triangles. This will make it easier to arrange on the board later.
Using the tip of a paring knife, cut zigzag patterns into the cucumber.
Slice off the top of the Gouda wheel about ¼-inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut a tree shape out of the center of this slice.
Add a dollop of jam to the center of the Gouda wheel. Carefully replace the cut-out slice on top to complete the design.
Take slices of salami and fold each one over the rim of a shot glass, overlapping each slice halfway around the glass.
After arranging 8-10 slices of salami, flip the shot glass over and gently pull it off. This will reveal a beautiful salami flower.
Begin assembling the board by placing the cheeses first. Add crackers and small cups filled with nuts and olives around them.
Cut the strawberries in half and place them on the board. Add other fruits like berries, vegetable like cucmber, a bowl of dried fruit, and begin adding the meats.
Take a moment to check your arrangement. Ensure that similar ingredients aren’t touching to create visual variety. Adjust as needed.
Add sprigs of rosemary for garnish to give it a festive feel. Serve with Christmas wooden skewers.
