The recipe
Ingredients
Cheeseball pumpkin
On my board (optional accompaniments)
How to make it
Wrap the Boursin tightly in plastic wrap and warm it slightly in your hands so it softens enough to shape. Round it into a pumpkin shape.
Unwrap the cheese, place it wherever you want it to sit on your board, and press the crackers around the outside to create the pumpkin effect.
Add a pepper stem to the top. You can also get creative here and use another edible stem or garnish.
Then build out the rest of the board around it. I added a salami rose, capicola ribbon, rosemary Marcona almonds, stuffed olives, green grapes, and a little fresh rosemary.
