Jams, Spreads & Accompaniments

The little extras are what make a board memorable. These homemade jams, spreads and nibbles are made to sit alongside your meats and cheeses: bacon fig jam, blackberry jalapeño jam, onion confit, beef liver pâté and green olive tapenade. There are easy add-ons too, like marinated feta, frozen grapes and sugared prosecco grapes. Most can be made days ahead, so your board comes together in minutes.
