Make it a Couple of Hours Ahead of Time

We prefer to make our boards ahead of time. We grabbed this charcuterie board because it has all the tools hidden underneath for serving and gathered our food items. We focused on different cheeses, some meats, and a bunch of fruit and seeds to add in.

Choose a Piece for the Center

When you’re ready to begin, start your charcuterie board with a brie wheel to keep the creaminess at the ready. You could choose any of your favorite cheeses, but we love us some brie. Then, we added some pumpkin butter and pepitas (little pumpkin seeds) on top of the cheese for a fall vibe.

Mix and Match the Textures and Colors of the Food

As you start to add the other ingredients around the cheese wheel, try to vary the colors and textures of the foods to keep it visually appealing. Things like crackers and pistachios will give a nice crunchy element and then other fruit, like grapes, pears, and berries, will give it a touch of freshness.

Use Small Bowls for Sauces and Spreads

We put our caramel sauce in a clear jar and some of the other snack items in little bowls. this breaks up the food items and adds another textural element to the charcuterie board. Once you have all the pieces in place, you can garnish it with fresh rosemary sprigs or even maple leaf cookies like we did. We even added a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds to the board too.

Fall Charcuterie Board Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 small wheel brie (4–5 in)
• ¼–⅓ cup pumpkin butter
• 1–2 Tbsp pepitas (pumpkin seeds), plus extra for sprinkling
• 30–40 round crackers
• 12–16 salami slices (folded/ruffled)
• 3–4 prosciutto slices, rolled around sticks of mild cheese (optional)
• 1 cup cheddar cubes
• 1 cup white cheese cubes (Monterey Jack/Swiss)
• 2 cups fruit: green grapes, blackberries, raspberries
• 2 clementines, peeled and segmented
• 1 crisp apple, thinly sliced
• 1 ripe pear, halved or sliced
• 1 cup green olives
• 1 cup cornichons (mini pickles)
• ¾ cup pistachios
• ¼ cup pomegranate arils (optional garnish)
• A few maple leaf cookies or other seasonal cookies
• ½–¾ cup caramel sauce (or apple-cider caramel) for dipping
• Fresh rosemary sprigs, for garnish

Directions

1. Centerpiece: Place the brie in the middle of your board. Spoon pumpkin butter on top and sprinkle with pepitas. Fan a small stack of crackers to the right, ruffle salami along the left edge, and place prosciutto-wrapped cheese below.
   
2. Add sauces & apples: Set a jar or bowl of caramel sauce on the board. Tuck sliced apples beside it. Add more crackers around the brie. Nestle a small cluster of grapes and a pile of blackberries and line one edge with cornichons.
3. Fill the board: Add olives, more crackers, and clementine segments. Mound raspberries and both cheddar and white cheese cubes in open spaces. Keep ingredients in tight, colorful clusters.
4. Finish & balance:

Storage Tips

• Cheese/meats/fruit: Cover and refrigerate leftovers; enjoy within 2–3 days.
• Crackers/cookies/nuts: Store separately in airtight containers at room temp.
• Caramel sauce & pumpkin butter: Cover and refrigerate up to 1 week (per jar label).
• Brie with toppings: Best the day of; refrigerate tightly wrapped and scrape off toppings before reheating/serving again.
