California Grapes Summer Cheese Board Recipe
This summer cheese board weighs heavy with California grapes, which are fresh in season right now! There are 80+ varieties of California grapes, which come in three colors, red, green and black. All of them are delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch red California grapes
- 1 bunch green California grapes
- 1 bunch black dark purple California grapes
- additional seasonal fresh like strawberries cherries, and nectarines in summer
- 2-3 sweet spreads like honey fig jam, and homemade Pinot Prune Jam
- 1 savory spread like mustard and caramelized onions
- olives and pickled onions
- dried fruit like dried apricots dates, and prunes
- nuts like almonds walnuts, and pistachios
- crackers to serve alongside
Instructions
- Clip bunches of grapes into small clusters of 4-5 grapes. Place grapes clusters on board.
- Arrange cheese on board, followed by additional fresh fruit and small bowls or jars of spreads.
- Fill in open spaces on board with dried fruit and nuts.
- Serve crackers alongside board. You can serve crackers directly on the board, just make sure they are placed next to other items that are dry so they don't get soft.
- Leftover grapes, if you have them, can be pulled off the stems and frozen! They are a refreshing little slushie snack in the summer. (And can also be used to chill your wine).
