Pork Charcuterie Board

Total time: 30 min.

Serves: 5

Ingredients:

• Grapes

• Local cheese

• Assortment of crackers/ crostini

• Local whipped honey

• Prosciutto, 1 cut up peach, mozzarella balls, fresh basil, balsamic vinegar (for Peach Prosciutto Cups)

• 1/4 cup white vinegar, 5 tablespoons of sugar, 1 English cucumber cut into slices (for the vinegar cucumbers)

• Salami (for salami rose)

• Fig jam and bacon

Directions:

• For the Peach Prosciutto Cups, preheat the oven at 400 F. Grease a muffin pans. Place prosciutto in the pan to form a cup. Bake for 10 min. Add peach slices, mozzarella balls, drizzle balsamic over the top and garnish with basil.

• A salami rose is easy to make (you can also use pepperoni). You will need a mason jar. Begin folding the salami around the mouth of the jar, continue folding until you cannot fit anymore pieces of salami. Gently wiggle the salami rose out of the jar and place on your board.

• I was going to make homemade fig jam, but I could not find any fresh figs, so I did the next best thing and bought some locally made fig jam and crostini from a farm stand near me.

• Vinegar cucumbers are a staple in my house, and I also wanted to add some green to the board. Fill a small bowl with white vinegar, add about 5 tablespoons of sugar. Stir. Add cucumber slices to the mix (English cucumbers are best). Store in the fridge until ready to serve.

• The whipped honey and cheese were purchased locally, and the grapes are from the store. Use them as fillers for your board.
