Fruit and Charcuterie

Meat and Cheese boards are all the rage these days.  Like many traditional foods that are making a comeback, charcuterie is a culinary art developed from necessity; it is the way meats were preserved long before the days of refrigeration. And just like pickles, fermented vegetables, home drafted beer, broth and kombucha, charcuterie has been revived and brought front and center by the traditional food movement.  This fancy and fresh gift is a nod to its newfound popularity.  It has the best of both worlds with meat, cheese, fresh and dried fruits and dipping sauces.  A popular gift for many occassions!
