A quick and easy charcuterie board featuring fig jam, seasonal fruit, honeycomb, assorted cheeses, and cured meats. Perfect for any occasion, this board balances sweet, salty, and crunchy flavors for a crowd-pleasing appetizer.

Ingredients

  • Brie or Camembert cheese
  • Aged Manchego or Gouda cheese
  • Blue cheese or Roquefort (optional)
  • Prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • Soppressata or Genoa salami
  • Chorizo slices (optional)
  • Fig jam with visible fruit pieces
  • Fresh figs (when in season)
  • Grapes (red or green), washed and dried
  • Sliced pears or apples (firm varieties like Granny Smith or Bosc)
  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blackberries, or blueberries)
  • Real honeycomb chunks
  • Marcona almonds or toasted walnuts
  • Olives (Kalamata or Castelvetrano)
  • Crackers or sliced baguette (gluten-free options available)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry all fresh fruit. Slice pears or apples thinly and toss in lemon juice if not serving immediately to prevent browning.
  2. Cut cheeses into wedges or slices, leaving rind on soft cheeses like Brie.
  3. Arrange charcuterie slices loosely, folding prosciutto into ribbons for easy picking.
  4. Place small bowls of fig jam, olives, and nuts around a large wooden or marble serving board.
  5. Arrange cheese wedges and slices evenly spaced on the board.
  6. Fill gaps with prosciutto and salami slices, layering for visual appeal.
  7. Add clusters of grapes or berries in small bunches and fan out pear or apple slices around edges.
  8. Nestle chunks of honeycomb near cheeses or fruit.
  9. Scatter nuts and extra crackers or bread slices around edges.
  10. Optionally drizzle a tiny bit of extra honey over honeycomb or fruit for added sweetness and shine.
  11. Serve immediately at room temperature or cover and refrigerate, bringing to room temperature about 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use lemon juice on sliced fruit to prevent browning if prepping ahead. Serve cheese at room temperature for best flavor. Warm fig jam slightly if too thick for easier spreading. Store honeycomb at room temperature in airtight container to avoid crystallization. Swap crackers for gluten-free or seed crackers to accommodate dietary needs.
