    I love making seasonal charcuterie boards, and this fall charcuterie board is so perfect and full of all you favorite things!! It's easy to put together and you have a little bit of everything.

    You'll love this fall charcuterie board

    It’s the best appetizer. Seriously! No cooking is required, you can play around with fall flavors and include a little bit of everything! This is such an easy fall appetizer. 

    Have some fun with it! Buy in-season produce you normally wouldn't, try some new cheeses and seasonal grocery store finds.

    It incorporates all the fall flavors. There are seriously so many fun seasonal items out in stores for fall. Incorporate all your favorite sweet and savory fall flavors and products.

    What is charcuterie?

    Charcuterie, technically, is a French term for a specific way of preparing meats like bacon, ham, and sausage. It's primarily meant for pork products. 

    Clearly, now, the term charcuterie gets thrown around with almost any season/holiday when it comes to a grazing appetizer board.

    How to build the best fall charcuterie board

    No matter what time of year it is, a charcuterie board is always a perfect appetizer, or it makes for a fun dinner for a girls' night or date night! No matter what holiday season or occasion you are making a charcuterie board for, here's how to build a perfect board.

    1. Pick your base.​ I have a few wood boards that I use for charcuterie boards. I also have a large lazy Susan that I really like making boards on, especially for a larger crowd! It makes it so easy for everyone to access all the goodies on the board.
    2. Pick your cheeses. I like to include 1 soft cheese or creamy cheese, like brie, 1 pungent cheese, like goat cheese, and 1 hard cheese. If you're looking for affordable cheeses, ALDI has some great options. Now to really hone in on the fall-themed charcuterie board, I love to take advantage of any seasonal cheeses, like cranberry cinnamon goat cheese, white cheddar craisin, etc. 
    3. Pick your meats.​ I tend to pick the same meats no matter what type of charcuterie board I am making. I typically pick salami and proscuitto.
    4. Pick your produce.​ I love picking in season produce. So for this fall charcuterie board, I would pick apples, pears, grapes, or pomegranate seeds.
    5. Pick your fillers.​ A good grazing board needs lots of other snacks like nuts, olives, pickles, dried fruits, etc.
    6. Pick your crackers.​ I like to have an array of cracker for a good charcuterie board so you can make so many different combinations.

    Other fall charcuterie board favorites

    After you have your cheese and meats picked out, time to add color, flavor, and a variety of textures.

    I love including seasonal fruits and other seasonal produce to create the most perfect fall charcuterie board. Not only is it a great way to take advantage of delicious fresh fruit and veggies, but it adds to the festive fall color scheme.

    How far in advance can you make a charcuterie board?

    I wouldn't recommend making a charcuterie board more than an hour in advance. If you need to make it earlier, I recommend making it, wrapping it in plastic wrap and storing it in the fridge.

    How long can a charcuterie board sit out?
