Jarcuterie (Charcuterie in a Jar)
Jarcuterie is a play on the words charcuterie board. All the sweet and salty party snacks that are arranged on a charcuterie board are artfully stacked in a small Mason jar to create individual charcuterie servings.

Instructions
- Smaller items like nuts, seeds and small grapes can be place in the bottom.
- Spreads and jams can also be placed in the bottom especially if crackers or vegetables are added for dipping.
- Fold cold cuts like salami in so it creates a fan and place in the jar. Wrap thin meats like prosciutto around string cheese and place in the back of the jar because those are taller.
- Thread berries and small items like olives and mandarin oranges on plain or decorative skewers. Add taller items like Grissini breadsticks, Pocky biscuit sticks, and skewers of fruit in the back so the shorter items will not be hidden in the front.
- Fill in any gaps with smaller items like nuts, cubes of cheese, and blueberries that are not skewered.
