Your Ultimate Guide to Finch & Fennel's Halloween Charcuterie Challenge
Blood, Smoke & Spice: 2 Ghoulish Charcuterie Boards
Board 1: "The Grave-Yard Gore Board"
Finch & Fennel Chipotle Raspberry Sauce
Theme: Bloody, gory and sweet heat
The deep, rich red color and sweet-heat complexity are perfect for mimicking a bloody, spooky aesthetic!
- Use a knife to lightly score a coffin shape out of a Brie Wheel or a log of goat cheese. Place the cheese in the center and pour the sauce over the scored coffin shape, letting it run dramatically down the sides.
- Use Mozzarella balls with a slice of black olive on top to look like eyeballs.
Board 2: The "Autumnal Altar" Board
Finch & Fennel Pumpkin Honey Butter
Theme: Harvest, witchy and golden glow.
The creamy texture and warm spice of the Pumpkin Honey Butter lend themselves to a harvest-themes board with a touch of witchcraft and cozy warmth.
- Cut cheddar cheese slices into pumpkin shapes using a small cookie cutter. Add a bit of smoked gouda for the perfect rustic, fall look.
- Serve the pumpkin honey butter in a small cauldron or pumpkin-shaped bowl. Pair with a plain, creamy cheese for spreading.
- Use the butter as a dip for apple slices or a spread for crackers. Ginger snaps and cinnamon graham crackers add a level of flavor fun!
