Welcome to the GND Recipes Library! For our 100th recipe, we are focusing on the ultimate hosting centerpiece: the Charcuterie Board. While fresh fruit is common, it often releases juices that make the crackers soggy and the cheeses slippery. The secret of professional caterers is using premium dehydrated fruits. They provide incredible textures, concentrated sweetness that cuts through salty meats, and they keep your board looking pristine all night long.

Recipe Details

• Prep Time: 15 Minutes

• Servings: 6-8 (Appetizer)

• Difficulty: Super Easy

Ingredients

• Cheeses: 1 Soft (Brie or Goat), 1 Hard (Aged Cheddar or Manchego), 1 Blue (Gorgonzola)

• Meats: Prosciutto, spicy salami, and coppa

• Crunch: Artisanal crackers, toasted baguettes, and mixed salted nuts

• Spreads: Honey or fig jam

• GND Pear Slices, GND Apple Slices, and GND Yellow Dragon Fruit

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Anchors: Start by placing your cheeses and a small bowl of honey or jam on a large wooden board. Space them out evenly.

2. Meats: Fold the prosciutto into ribbons and fan out the salami. Place them around the cheeses.

3. Fills: Add your crackers and nuts into the empty spaces.

4. The GND Magic: Use GND Pear and Apple Slices right next to the sharp cheeses (they act as a sturdy, sweet vehicle for the cheese). Place stunning GND Yellow Dragon Fruit slices near the edges and on top of the brie for an exotic, luxury pop of color.

5. Serve: Serve at room temperature for the best cheese texture.

💡 GND Pro-Tip: Take your entertaining to the next level. Our GND Pear and Apple Slices are sturdy enough to be used instead of crackers for a gluten-free option, pairing beautifully with salty cheeses. And nothing starts a conversation quite like the exotic look of our Yellow Dragon Fruit! 👉 Explore the GND Starter Kit for your next board
