Notes
- No star fruit? No problem. Use your creativity and use a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut slices of persimmon or cheese.
- Consider the color scheme. Whether you're banking on the traditional red, white, and green for your decorations or want to branch out into the rest of the rainbow, grab fruits & veggies that match your look.
- Plan ahead. Keep prep to a minimum by cutting your fruit, veggies, and cheese ahead of time. You can even assemble the entire Christmas cheese plate, wrap it well, and store it in the fridge for a day or two.
- Use different shapes. Round grapes, star-shaped starfruit, and square cubes of cheese gives you 3 different looks. You can even cut the fruits and veggies to help give your charcuterie platter some extra visual interest.
- If you're feeling crafty, try making your own wooden charcuterie board. You can also just use a large cutting board or a serving platter if you prefer!
