How to Make Cheese And Fruit Course For Red Wine

  1. Arrange a selection of cheeses on a large wooden cutting board. Consider varying textures and intensities: a crumbly Gorgonzola, a sharp cheddar, a creamy brie, and a firm Manchego.
  2. Place an assortment of fruits alongside the cheese. Include grapes (1 cup), figs (4-6, depending on size), sliced apples (1 medium, cored and sliced), and pears (1 medium, cored and sliced).
  3. Drizzle a light coating of honey (2 tablespoons) near the Gorgonzola for an extra touch of sweetness.
  4. Add a small bowl of walnuts or pecans (1/2 cup, shelled) for added crunch and flavor.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite dry red wine. Enjoy!
  6. Consider adding crackers or baguette slices (4-6 slices) for a more substantial platter.
