A pumpkin charcuterie board is a fun and festive way to serve snacks for a fall gathering. It's a great way to use up all of those leftover pumpkins from Halloween, and it's a fun activity for kids and adults alike.
- 1 large pumpkin
- Sharp knife
- Assorted snacks, such as:
- Cheeses: Cheddar, Colby Jack, Monterey Jack, Swiss, Gruyère
- Crackers: Ritz, Triscuits, Wheat Thins, pita chips, tortilla chips
- Fruits: Apples, grapes, oranges, pears, dried apricots
- Vegetables: Carrots, celery, cucumbers, bell peppers
- Nuts: Almonds, pecans, walnuts
- Candy: Chocolate chips, M&Ms, Reese's Pieces, candy corn
- Dips: Hummus, guacamole, salsa
Cut off the top of the pumpkin and scoop out the seeds and pulp.
Use a sharp knife to carve a face into the pumpkin. You can make a simple jack-o-lantern face, or get creative and make a more elaborate design.
Once the pumpkin is carved, fill it with your favorite snacks. Arrange the snacks in a pleasing way, and make sure there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Get creative and have fun with it! There are no rules when it comes to making a pumpkin charcuterie board. Just use your imagination and fill it with your favorite fall treats.
If you're short on time, you can buy pre-cut and pre-washed fruits and vegetables.
You can also make your own dips, such as hummus or guacamole.
For a more festive touch, add some autumn-themed decorations to your charcuterie board, such as leaves, acorns, or pumpkins.
