Instructions
Start by preparing the cheeses. Cut the hard cheeses and lay them on a large wood board in desired style.
To display the charcuterie meat, fold the salami in desired pattern and add to your board. Roll or fold the turkey and prosciutto, adding these to the board as well.
Wash and cut your fruit so they are easy to serve and eat. Cut the grape stems into clusters of 3-5 grapes for individual servings.
Add the jarred spreads and small bowls of specialty food items such as mixed nuts or candy.
Arrange crackers or sliced baguette throughout the board to fill in most of the empty space available.
Finish the presentation with fresh herbs to fill in any gaps. Use grapes or more mixed nuts to complete the charcuterie board.

Notes
Cheese Notes: if you don't want to make a herbed cheese ball pumpkin, add 8 ounces of another soft cheese and 8 ounces of a different hard cheese to complete your board. Serve the charcuterie board at room temperature so the cheeses are easy to spread.
