Just one tiny thought. A few years ago a cheesemonger taught me to snip the grapes into small bunches. Nothing is worse then watching people play tug of war with your grapes. Looks exactly the same but its a small step to help your guests.
Oh I LOVE that idea!! So true!! Ha! TFS :)
😂😂😂😂😂😂Great tip!
My mom always did that with the grapes on the counter so it didn’t look so leggy
That's what I learned from a friend.
Or you can be really posh and leave out a pair of grape scissors. Yes there's such a thing!
I loved this video. You made it so easy. I can’t wait to put together my own cheese board.
So a lot of people can't afford to do a big cheese plate, so here's my tips for it! buy a few cheeses, whatever kinds you like, try to do a soft cheese, a harder cheese, and a salty cheese that's in between. you can add others if you have the budget for it. I've noticed cheeses are around 5-6 bucks where I live so this would set me back about 18 bucks. then id go to Walmart and get a loaf of French bread. It's about a dollar and you get plenty of bread. you could buy pretzels or crackers as well and I'd go to somewhere like Aldi's and it would set you back about 2 dollars. I can usually find grapes for 3 bucks at Aldi's but I'd pretty much get whatever fruit is cheap and in season at the time. so apples would work as well. Then one day when you're planning dinner, go somewhere like kfc or Lee's. they usually have an area inside with honey and jelly and stuff like that for biscuits. Take a bunch with you in your bag, or go to a place that sells the meats and cheeses and buy one fancy jelly. also utilize stuff you may already have at home. so fancy mustards, jams, etc. It'll be expensive but not as expensive. lol
So right on Ashley I also add a little beef jerky to my platter who does like beef jerky and its cheap and looks appetizing in a pretty platter👍
Goat thank you
The best cheese board tutorial!
Oh gosh, first I misunderstood fig jam as 'fake jam'. Almost hurt my brain trying to figure out what that was, lol!
Btw, nice idea! But can you suggest some other salty cheese instead of the blue? I'm not particularly a fan of it.
Felisha try manchego cheese!
Felisha 😂😂😂 i heard that the same..
Me ttoooo
Felisha Try a 12 year old cheddar ( or older if the budget allows) ...Hooks is a well known artisan Cheesemaker in Dodgeville, WI.
Hey Beth,
this may sound weird, but you have to try it! Take a spiced cookie like gingerbread or ginger snaps and put on some strong blue cheese like a Roquefort or a bleu d'auvergne. It is so out of this world delicious!
OMGaaawwwwwd... I think I could eat this all day everyday.... gorgeous!
these are wonderful ideas! TYSM... I dont know why we have to still prepare a meal after all these apps 🙂
_Goat cheese_ is mild and neutral? In what universe?!
Amelia Bee Ha in the states! We have very mild cheeses over here :)
Wobbles and Bean pungent is the word that comes to mind when I think of goats cheese.
One of my favorite flavor combinations with Brie is sweet hot mustard (a spicy honey mustard) and a thin slice of fresh green apple. It's a weird combination but it's delicious!
thereasonableblog Oh now that does sound delicious! I love hearing all these new combos! Can't wait to try them myself :)
Thats sounds very delicious
Beth, your Cheese Board not only is delicious, it´s elegant and so pretty too.
I love all these combinations mixing flavours.
I´ve found fresh cranberries the other day and i will make cranberry sauce, so i need ideas for leftovers.
I wish you and yours a very happy Thanksgiving!
Greetings from Spain.
Patricia.
Patricia G.G. Oh perfect! You'll love the cranberry sauce muffins :) Coming up on Friday! Stay tuned!
I did something like this a month ago with plans from Woodglut.
i love this video but it's such a pity that i live in an asian country where doesn't have many kinds of cheese
Come to Europe, we let anyone in these days
very good idea for cheese lovers 👋👋👋🧀🥖🍷🇲🇽🇩🇪🇪🇸🇮🇹🇨🇱🇧🇷🇫🇷🇦🇷🇵🇹🇨🇭🇺🇸🇨🇴🇩🇰
Oh my word I´m hungry after seeing this video! love pepper jelly! A perfect cheese board :-)
I enjoy watching your videos. Discovered them recently. How do you stay so slim with such good food? : D
Ha! Frequent yoga and treadmill :) does the trick!
Lovely 🧀 Board. Very attractive presentation & with variety & texture with nuts & 🍇 fruits !
Thumbs up 👍
Thank you Beth for sharing! This is amazing! Cheese platter at my house is so crowd-pleasing! Adults love to savour cheeses and grapes with wine pairings accordingly. Kids love stilton and apple jam combination. Blue cheese shortbreads disappear in minutes! I really recommend everyone to lay out a cheese board this year, so easy to do and the greatest thing is everyone get a chance to go around and meet, greet, have fun, embrace the holiday atmosphere while enjoying the food happily. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!
Why is this so satisfying?
Thank you for your inspirations at any time! My life turns so grateful! Beth, LOVE YOU!!!
I love onion jam with a strong cheese. Soooooo good 🤤
Mmm I love Brie is my favourite this looks so good
great presentation . i feel hungry already . good work
Don't like any of those cheeses. I would offer- Lancashire (crumbly); Red Leicester, Double Gloucester (with and without chives); Austrian, AND Appledore Smoked cheese, Dutch Edam. But OK with the other non-cheese items. Soft or remotely mouldy looking 'products' will ne'er cross my doorway. And the 'Before or after Pudding' debate should be personal choice. For me, I'd generally have cheese AFTER.
This was so helpful!! Thank you so much for sharing!
I love my cheese and crackers with miracle whip, ketchup, soy sauce, pickles, peanut butter, tabasco sauce, soy milk, ham, tuna and gargonzola cheese! It's best with extra salt, pepper, ginger and Red Devil hot sauce! Add a little chow mein on the crackers and it's amazing!
What a fabulous cheese board.........you nailed it Beth, thanks for sharing !
Thank you so much, I have never made one and am asked to bring one to a function this weekend. So I searched on tube and decided to open your video, the best thing I could do... brilliant video, and so fresh and clear presentation style..
Love this! Cheese boards are always one of my go to appetizers. :D
I love a good cheese board! I feel like people forget about this option!
LouieBlueRaspberry I know right?! Easy peasy!
☆This video was just dynamite! Thanks! ☆
I'm so hungry now uhhhhhh
I think I would cut the grapes up into small individual clusters….for ease…and to not encourage too much handling by guests.
Love it ! Going to prepare this for our holiday party next month,thank you!
I couldn’t create this before eating it all before it was even created lol 😂
Beth, this is a beautiful video, thanks for these really awesome ideas! As a cheese lover, I truly appreciate them) Could you share your recipe for the pepper jelly, please? :)
Oh my god am i the only one hearing this through my right speaker only? Its bugging me out..... Nonetheless, this looks fantastic!
Nope working just great.
Thanks for not only showing how to build a cheese board, but also providing some instruction on composition of the ingredients once you have assembled the board. Liked seeing what cracker/bread goes with the cheese as well as the finishing touches.
So glad it was helpful! :)
Omg your perfect i wanna be you
I love this,Beth! I mean,my family loves cheese! Love this idea!
This video changed my life... thank you!!!
what other fruits i can use
+Khansa Lamkhantar oh sure you can use figs, dates, apples or pears too! :) All would be great
Love this video! It's a great cheat sheet for making my own :)
So helpful. Great tutorial and thank you for listing out the items in the description.
T and a couple 💑 of the last few years of 7th and 4th September for my final exam and I
This was fantastic! I love a good cheese board. Thank you for the ideas :)
Very nice Beth! :)
Mmmm, olive bread with cheese - wonderful! White Stilton with apricots is nice but I prefer a proper Stilton. Love the visual appeal of the board, Beth. A nice chutney would be lovely with that lot :-)
I absolutely love this video. I will use it for weddings, etc...thank you.
Awe so glad it has been helpful for you! :)
I posted this in Delicious Dish when you first put this video out. Today, I posted it yet again because this is the perfect time for such a thing! Thanks, Dear....and HAPPY HOLIDAYS / Merry Christmas! xoxo
Thanks for the wonderful ideas!
I'm making a bunch of charcuterie boards for my wife to give to friends at church. The ideas in your video are excellent. Thanks!!
I usually precutt grapes into 2-3 pieces ...
When you say cheese it reminds me of how much I like the sound of that word lol
Dear Beth, I'm not going to lie, I've never been a fan of cheese or boards. But, after viewing this video, you have changed my perspective of it. This changed my life completely. Thank you Beth.
Great video and nice explanations!
This cheese board would go over so well at my little Christmas gathering! I'm having family over but my apartment is way too tiny to host a full meal. But some lovely cheeses, fruits and spreads, tasty crackers... That would work! Thank you for the idea!
Beth I absolutely love this idea! Its really rustic and lets you customize it to your liking. I also love how you always thouroghly explain everything and present it beautifully. Oh and can you please make a video on how you store your cutting boards, baking dishes, e.t.c? Thanks, love your recipes!
Love that cheeseboard/charcuterie tutorial! Your presentation in anything & everything is always simple, easy yet fancy & elegant! Love your videos!♥️
love your ideas and combination with food, love everything thanks

Franciska Grgić I expect this for Christmas! :D Kaja Grgić
I love it! Can you please make praline candy? I've tried a bunch of recipes and I cannot seem to get it.
What if your bread won’t nestle?
eating
Crackers and Jam ting ( Giggs )
Simply beautiful. Thank you for the good tips too.
So glad you enjoyed!
What to do If i have to take cheese to some other place? Should I assemble my cheese board and take it? If so, how do I pack it?
Such a great video! Any suggestions pairing with smoked fish? Thanks, Beth!
Hey Beth I will definitely try out the recipe!!! Is cheddar cheese,and mozzarella a good cheese to use???
jassie duckett Oh sure! Those would be great too :) Enjoy!
What cheese would you suggest if instead of blue cheese? I have a guest allergic to blue cheese.
Brie with raspberry jam and fresh strawberries= heavenly
Strawberry Chic Oh yum! That sounds great :)
May I suggest cheddar and apples. Also you may want to consider a chutney such as onion
Oh yes those additions would be fantastic! :)
Is this a direct challenge to Martha Stuart?
I’ll stick with my cheese head string cheese lol and my blue cheese
Ah an American with culture. How refreshing
So perfect ❤️
I absolutely love your channel. I've been watching for a while. I "borrowed" so many of your ideas for parties I would throw while I was in the military. Lets just say we all got an amazing taste of being at home while away.
Thanks for an amazing channel, and another awesome idea! From me and troops of the USAF!!
izayahbayah16 Aww love hearing that! :) Happy Thanksgiving and more importantly thank you for your service and sacrifices xxx
Perfection!
Thank you so much for your nice ideas and recipies. With
Thanks for sharing your scrumptious looking cheese 🧀 board. I enjoyed watching and can't wait to make my own. 😊
I'm so glad! They are so much fun to put together and to serve! Keeps all the guests occupied and well fed while you get the main meal going! ha! :)
Can i use Kraft singles?
Wonderful content !!
Hey Beth thanks for the idea I'll try love your videos
Nob cheese goes with everything! It's gooood!
Hi Beth! thanks for another wonderful video. I have a question. I've tried brie in the past, but it was a little messy. Is it served chilled or at room temperature? If it's room temperature, is there a time limit? Thanks!
Tonya Gordon Room temperature is best and I would say not to leave out more than an hour or so :)
Beth, this is a wonderful tutorial. I love watching your videos. Very inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing and brightening my day☀️
Awe so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching too! I truly appreciate all the support :) 😍😍😍
Under 301 love it
👍Lovely. 😍 I found that it’s a good idea to separate the grapes into small single or small bunches so guests aren’t touching the whole bunch just to eat a few. I make charcuterie and cheese boards all of the time. I got it from my mom who entertained a lot and used to make them all of the time when I was a kid. Thanks! 💞
Oh yes that is a great idea to separate the grapes! Love that! I'm going to do that next time! Ha! :)
Great tips, Beth! I really like your recommendations for flavour combinations. We like to make mini cheese grape (or olive) skewers with some sort of hard cheese, cut into cubes. It looks pretty too!
AnnK H Oh love that idea! So great and easy to nibble on while sipping a glass of wine :)
great idea!
I also like incorporating a little cream cheese onto my tray. A pitted date, stuff it with cream cheese and top it with a pecan. Heaven. The pepper jelly is also great with cream cheese.
Oh I love that idea! Yes I bet it's great with the pepper jelly! :)
