2 oz apricot jelly

2 persimmons, sliced

Fresh Rosemary

Fresh Sage leaves

Round wood pedestal board from Crate & Barrel

Step 1

Cut your manchego cheese into triangles and arrange on your board making a manchego river - simply layer the triangles over one another as you create a cute "river" of cheese down the middle of your board

Place your dish of apricot jelly next to the cheese.

Step 3

Cut the strawberries into little hearts - cut the stem off in a V-shaped fashion then slice the strawberry in half VERTICALLY leaving a front and back piece (2 hearts)

Add the strawberry hearts, persimmons and raspberries to the board.

Step 5

Pop little sprigs of rosemary into gaps and drop a couple of fresh sage leaves onto the plate to make it look pretty!
