Sherami's Cheese Charcuterie

  Sherami hosted our book club this month, and she, being uniquely creative, had a set of Charcuterie Cheese cups on her counter. They all looked so beautiful, we each took one cup and spent ages trying to guess what she had put inside. The salami rose was especially intriguing. . . . .

 I’m sure ours will not come out so perfect, but it’s a terrific idea.

Here’s what was inside.

At the very bottom there is a layer of party mix.

4 blueberries

2 rasberries

2 white cheddar cheese squares (Aldi’s)

1 round baby bel (BJ’s)

3 cheddar cheese cubes (Aldi’s)

1 kalamata and 1 casteletrano olive on a toothpick (Wegman’s)

1 salami rose Appleton Farms Original Dry Salami,        4 slices per rose

1 sprig of rosemary

1 Delizza Macaron (Tops - frozen food dept.)

There is a video on u-tube showing how to make a salami rose  without a shot glass presented by officiallyglutenfree.com

1. Lay 4 slices of overlapping salami
   
   
   

2. . Fold all 4 slices over in half

   
   
   
   
   

3. Start rolling from one end.

 4. Use a tooth pick to secure the rosebud and

    Decorate with basil leaves.

    Although Sherami used a sprig of rosemary which held up very well, no wilting.
