Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 to 8 Pounds strawberries fresh
- 2 Blocks cheddar cheese white, 8 Ounces each
- 18 Ounces blueberries fresh
Instructions
- Wash the fruit and let it dry, then remove and discard the strawberry stems.
- Put the blueberries in a small white bowl and put it in the corner as a placeholder.
- Arrange the strawberries in a double line at the top of your platter.
- Leave an equal amount of space underneath and then add another row of strawberries.
- Repeat once more, keeping your lines straight and lining up the starting points of the lines so the blueberry portion looks even.
- Cut your cheese into ¼-inch slices and line 2 slices up, side by side, in the 2 open lines between the strawberry lines.
- Now either leave the blueberries in the bowl or pour them into the top left hand corner.
Notes
Keep your lines straight: Even spacing makes the flag look more polished.
Use chilled fruit and cheese: Keeps the board fresh and helps it hold shape.
Dry the fruit thoroughly: This prevents extra moisture from affecting the cheese or board.
Cut uniform slices: Even cheese pieces create a cleaner appearance.
Serve on a light-colored tray: This makes the colors pop and enhances the visual appeal.
