Ingredients:
3 types of fresh seasonal fruit (bite size chunks: fruits like melon, mango, jackfruit, pineapple, pear or apple; entire: fruits like strawberry or grape)
2 types of dried fruit (like apricot, fig, apple or pear)
2 types of nuts (like walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios or almonds)
3 types of cheese (entire: a soft cheese like brie; wedge: a semi-soft cheese like stilton or danish blue, bite size chunks: a hard cheese like cheddar or gouda)
1 pack of crackers
Method:
Arrange the fruit and crackers around the edges of the platter and place the cheese and nuts towards the center. Ensure each cheese has its own knife to avoid taste cross-contamination, and keep some wooden picks or serving plates handy nearby. There is no fixed rule as to the amount of fruit and cheese to include in the platter; it will depend on the number of guests and their preference, but roughly allow 20g cheese per person and 6-7 pieces of fruit. You may also prefer to add a particular item to the platter as and when it is running low, or store a smaller platter in the fridge to bring out when needed.
