Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To assemble a cheeseboard, always start with the platter. Staves from wine barrels are an excellent, albeit pricey platform. Marble and sealed slate also work well.
  2. Thoroughly wash your fruit. If you like, you can remove all stems from grapes for your guests’ ease
  3. When dealing with apples and other fruits that may oxidize, dip them in an acidulated bath of 5 parts water, 1 part lemon juice and then drain
  4. Assemble the platter to your heart’s desire. Cheeseboards are a wonderful tool by which to practice your creativity and presentation skills
  5. Top with candied almonds, dried fruit or anything you may desire
