Charcuterie Board with Pecans
Charcuterie boards seem to be all the rage right now! I mean, what's not to love?! Although the name may be difficult to pronounce, creating one of these yummy meat and cheese boards is easy and fun! We wanted to share a board featuring some best sellers from our pecan and gift store. What we came up with is simple, unique, and budget-friendly. I have a sweet tooth, so naturally the dark chocolate pecans and peach pepper jelly were the highlights of the board for me!
Our pecan store offers a huge selection of flavored pecans and gourmet food options, so the possible combinations are endless! I grabbed my favorites from our store shelves and picked up the remaining ingredients from the grocery store. Some other tasty options available at the pecan store are:
- pickled okra
- peach salsa
- candied jalapenos (served over cream cheese)
- TX Whiskey flavored pecans
- Green or red pepper jelly
- Cinnamon toasted pecans

A beautiful, balanced charcuterie board is sure to impress any friends and family you entertain this upcoming holiday season. Assembling the board was the most fun part & it's easier than you think! Here are a few useful tips & tricks:
- Select a board or platter of an appropriate size depending on the crowd you're feeding
- Use small dishes or bowls for dips or other foods you want to contain
- Place the small dishes & larger foods on the board first, like the cured meats and cheeses, for structure
- Arrange crackers/chips/breads for dipping
- Fill in empty spaces with fruits and other small accent foods
- Consider creating a board with well-balanced flavors (sweet, salty, savory)
