- Prepare meats by gathering them into on place so you can see what you have. Roll up or form into different shapes as desired.
- Place anchors (bowls of things or anything large and decorative) on charcuterie board. They should be spread out fairly evenly. Check photos above for a visual reference.
- Start with the crackers and begin to place them around the edges and anchors.
- Add meats and cheeses and again place around anchors and edges. Fill in and use large groupings of the different elements. Try to place different items and different colors next to each other to add beauty and variety.

Notes
- A popular way to make thanksgiving charcuterie boards in in the shape of a turkey! So fun, look for a tutorial and organize your platter like that.
- Make sure you have enough finger foods to really make the platter nice and full. It's better to have the board nice and full. Use a smaller one if needed.
- Keep it simple! Follow our guide and start with the anchors and it will turn out beautifully.
- Store cold ingredients separately in air tight containers in the refrigerator
- store crackers in airtight containers at room temperature
- we don't recommend freezing the charcuterie board or any of its elements.
