Ingredients

1 8 ounce wheel of brie cold
1/4 cup orange marmalade more if needed
8 ounces cheddar cheese cubed
8 ounces pepper jack cheese cubed
4 ounces gouda cheese cubed
4 ounces manchego cheese sliced
4 ounce wedge blue cheese whole
6 ounces sliced prosciutto
6 ounces sliced salami
4 ounces pepperoni cubed or sliced
1 cup roasted pistachios
1 cup marcona almonds
2 red pears ripe, sliced
1 large sweet apple sliced
1 cup pomegranate seeds
1 cup marinated olives
6 mandarin oranges
assortment of crackers
12 sprigs of fresh rosemary
1 English cucumber sliced
1/2 cup stuffed peppadew peppers

Instructions

Use fresh rosemary sprigs to form a rough triangle on a large cheese board. Use the rosemary as a rough guide for building your Christmas tree board.
Unwrap the cold Brie and place it on a cutting board. Using a small 3 or 4-inch star-shaped cookie cutter (it should be smaller than the wheel of brie), press the cutter firmly down the center of the brie.
Lift the cutter up to remove the center. You may save the star cut-out for later use.
Fill the empty star-shaped cavity in the brie with orange marmalade. Place at the top of your charcuterie Christmas tree.
Now that your star is in place, work filling your board from the bottom up. Create the trunk of the tree by using a stack of round or square crackers. Then fill in the body of the tree with stacks and layers of meats, cheeses, fruits, and veggies.
Once your “bones” are in place, you can fill in any gaps with olives, pomegranate seeds, more crackers, and nuts.
Add more rosemary sprigs where needed to fill it out and give it maximum Christmas tree vibes!
Serve at room temperature, with additional crackers, wine, and any desired jams or mustards/dips on the side.
