Create a cheeseboard that feels generous and effortlessly elegant with the addition of our vibrant Cranberry Jelly. Its bright tangy sweetness cuts beautifully through rich and creamy cheeses like Brie and Stilton, while also complementing a sharp Cheddar or a crumbly Lancashire cheese. Along with crackers and a selection of fruits, vegetables and nuts, a spoonful of glossy Tiptree Cranberry Jelly adds a pop of colour and a tart-sweet note. This simple and impressive cheeseboard is ideal for relaxed entertaining, festive gatherings or sharing over drinks with friends.

Directions

Cut the Stilton into triangular slices and the Brie into thin slices on an angle. Slice or crumble the Lancashire cheese into pieces and cut the Cheddar cheese into cubes so that guests can serve themselves.

Choose a large wooden board or platter. Place the cheeses on the board first, spacing them out so there is room for the accompaniments.

Spoon the Cranberry Jelly into a small bowl or ramekin dish and place it in the centre of the board.

Add the small bunches of grapes, dried apricots, dried cranberries and walnuts around the cheeses. Tuck the celery batons, tomatoes, cucumbers, cornichons, and apple slices into the gaps to add freshness and crunch.
This is where you can be as creative as you like. Add your favourite crackers and slices of baguette; stack them sideways on the board. If there are any gaps add more of your favourite ingredient.
Serve with butter on the side.
