Ingredients

  • 1 cup dried apricots
  • 1 cup dates
  • 1/2 cup dried strawberries
  • 1/2 cup dried pineapple wedges
  • 1 cup dried figs
  • 1 cup brazil nuts
  • 1/2 cup whole pecans
  • 1/2 cup almonds
  • 1/2 cup whole cashews
  • 1/4 cup pistachios
  • 1/4 cup yogurt covered peanuts
  • fresh bay leaves
  • cedar branches

Instructions

  • The first thing you want to do is to source a board. The number of people you are serving and the number of items you have to place on the board, will help to determine the size you will need. You can use a cutting board, a charcuterie board, a marble slab, or an old silver-plated tray like you see in the photographs.
  • Next, using fresh bay leaves, create a circular pattern on the platter. Position the leaves so that the pointed end is sticking out from the center of the board. The wreath size will be determined by how many nuts and dried fruits you will be piling onto it, so size the wreath accordingly. It’s always best to make the bay leaves wreath a little bigger so that the green leaves are not completely covered with food. Once you’re happy with positioning those, it’s time to assemble.
  • Begin by placing a small bowl into the center of the serving plate. This will help to keep the wreath circular and round as you build it up by adding the ingredients to the platter.
  • So, start by laying down alternating layers of dried fruits, berries, and nuts. Work around the bowl, piling and building as you go. Be sure to alternate the ingredients well so that you are not placing too many of the same ingredients close together. Be sure to fill in the gaps as you go!
