A charcuterie platter is simply a collection of smoked or cured meats, fish, or even patés. To that is added an array of cheeses, fruits, pickled vegetables, and mustards. Sweet additions like fine chocolate, jams, preserves, or dried fruits are also a great match up, and help bring a contrast to more fat-heavy ingredients. Served with your favorite rustic crackers or crusty bread, and you’ve put together a marvelous (and easy!) sweet & savory appetizer board. This is truly one of the easiest holiday appetizers!
