How to Create a Charcuterie Tree: It’s Easier Than You Think

How about a special Christmas tree for the holiday table?

This tree is sold in the United Kingdom: it costs 25 pounds sterling, or about 3,200 rubles. But you can easily make this decoration for a New Year’s feast, which will surely impress your guests, at home yourself, and it will cost much less.

How to Create a Charcuterie Tree: It’s Easier Than You Think

You will need:

  • your favorite cheeses, cold meats and sausages, your olives or even your fruits,
  • wooden cutting board – it is better if it does not look like a “workhorse”,
  • foam cone – you can buy one in any market,
  • toothpicks, or even better – colored skewers for cocktails of different shapes,
  • optional – sprigs of rosemary,
  • cling film.

How to assemble a Christmas tree:

  1. Wrap the cone in cling film so that food does not come into contact with the foam.
  2. Cut the treats, cheeses and fruits of your choice into pieces of approximately the same size.
  3. Thread all the ingredients onto skewers and place them on the cone in a spiral or circle.
  4. The largest pieces should be at the bottom, the smallest at the top.
  5. For the top of the tree you can make a star – for example, from cheese, or you can simply decorate it with an olive.
  6. Place the tree on a cutting board and place “gifts” at the base, such as crackers or breadsticks.
  7. Glue rosemary between the “garlands” so that your tree has branches.

Don’t have time to buy a foam cone? No problem: in this case there is a plan B with a horizontal tree. Simply arrange the same ingredients on a cheese or wooden cutting board in a triangle shape and add rosemary sprigs.

If you have not only one cone, but also several types of treats, then canapes in the shape of a Christmas tree would be a great solution.

You will need:

  • a type of cheese,
  • a type of sausage,
  • cucumbers,
  • bread,
  • wooden skewers for canapes,
  • olives, carrots or cherry tomatoes.

How to make Christmas tree-shaped canapes

  • Cut the bread into small pieces – if you have a cookie cutter you can use that.
  • Place the sausage and a slice of cheese on each slice.
  • Cut the cucumber lengthwise – you should have long slices.
  • Thread the cucumber onto a skewer, pierce it several times, add a carrot star, an olive or a cherry tomato at the end of the stick.
  • Insert a skewer into the base of the bread, sausage and cheese. (“The base” can be something else – for example, with red caviar.)
