Pin RecipePrint Recipe
Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 8 hours 20 minutes
Makes 8 cups

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces salami folded into small ribbons
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 6 ounces cheddar cheese cut into small cubes
  • 6 ounces gouda cheese cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup red seedless grapes
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots
  • 1/2 cup whole almonds
  • 1/2 cup cornichons or small dill pickles
  • 24 crackers added the day of serving

Instructions

  • Fold the salami slices into small ribbons and roll or fold the prosciutto into loose rosettes.
  • Divide the cheddar and gouda cubes among 8 small cups, tucking them into one side of each cup.
  • Add the salami ribbons and prosciutto rosettes to the opposite side of each cup.
  • Tuck the grapes, dried apricots and cornichons into the remaining space in each cup.
  • Cover the cups tightly with plastic wrap or lids and refrigerate overnight, up to 24 hours.
  • Keep the cups chilled and covered on the morning of the party.
  • Right before serving, tuck the almonds and crackers into each cup so they stay crisp instead of going soft against the cheese.

Good to Know

The ratio scales to any guest count: two meats, two cheeses, two fruits per cup.
