Jar-Cuterie!

With Kilner and The Cheshire Cheese Company

Jar-cuterie is a fun and creative way to enjoy charcuterie in a portable and personalised manner. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make jar-cuterie with Kilner Round Clip Top Jars and the award-winning Cheshire Cheese Company Cheese:

1. Gather your supplies: You'll need your favourite Kilner jars, a variety of The Cheshire Cheese Company delicious cheeses, cured meats, crackers, bread sticks, fruits, nuts, and any other accompaniments you love.

2. Prepare the jars: Ensure the Kilner jars are clean and dry before assembling the jar-cuterie. The size of the jars depends on the quantity of ingredients you want to include.

3. Choose your cheeses: The Cheshire Cheese Company's cheeses are an excellent choice! Select a few different flavours and textures to add diversity to your jar-cuterie. Consider options like Black Bob Mature cheddar, Jerk Spice, or Smokewood Aged Red Leicester.

4. Cut the cheeses: Dice or slice the cheeses into bite-sized pieces, making them easy to enjoy and add to skewers and add directly to the jar.

5. Pick your charcuterie: Add a variety of cured meats like salami, prosciutto, or chorizo to complement the cheese selection. Fold or layer them and add to skewers to fit nicely inside the jar.

6. Add accompaniments: Enhance the flavours with an array of accompaniments. Include items like grapes, blueberries, dried fruits, olives, pickles, or any other favourite additions. They provide a sweet, tangy, or savoury contrast to the cheese and meats.

7. Include crunchy elements: Incorporate crackers, breadsticks, or artisanal crisps to add texture and provide a base for your jar-cuterie delights.

8. Go nuts: For an extra crunch and flavour, add some nuts like almonds, walnuts, or pecans. They pair well with various cheeses and charcuterie.

9. Layer and arrange: Start by layering the cheeses and charcuterie in the Kilner jars, alternating with fruits, nuts, and accompaniments. Make sure to create visually appealing layers that highlight the colours and textures. Add herbs or edible flowers to make your arrangement pop.

10. Serve and enjoy! Whether it's for a picnic, party, or a delightful snack at home, jar-cuterie is a convenient and delightful way to savour a personalised charcuterie experience.

Remember, jar-cuterie allows for endless creativity, so feel free to experiment with various ingredients to suit your tastes and preferences. Enjoy the process of assembling the perfect jar-cuterie and relish every delectable bite!
