Crusty Breads and Crackers Crackers and fresh breads are perfect for cleansing palates and can serve as a delivery device for spreadable and other soft cheeses. Choose simple water crackers or breads with light-flavored cheeses and heartier crackers and breads with bolder cheeses. To create this board choose: Camembert, Asiago, and Gruyere (for fondue) cheeses, fresh baguette and pumpernickel breads and toasted sesame crackers. To create this board choose: BelGioioso Mascarpone, Montchevre Blueberry Vanilla or Cranberry Cinnamon, fresh goat cheese, Reny Picot Brie with fig spread, 34 Crisps, assorted chocolates, assorted nuts, dried apricots and fresh berries. Fruits and Nuts Fresh berries, grapes, apples, pears and figs can complement younger, fresher cheeses with their sweet and refreshing flavors. Dried fruits like apricots, mangos, and cherries can add rich, intense flavors that go along better with bolder, aged cheeses. Pair your fruits with nuts like walnuts, pecans, almonds, cashews and pistachios that can provide salty, candied or even herbed flavors along with crunchy textures. To create this board choose: garlic and herb goat, Jarlsberg and Blue cheeses, pear, grapes, dried apricots, pecans, cashews and pistachios. Charcuterie, Chutneys and Preserves Cured or dried meats bring bold, savory flavors to any cheese board. To balance the saltiness of the meats and complement the creaminess of the cheese, consider adding sweet chutneys, preserves and pâtés to the platter as well. Mango, fig, apricot, and apple flavors are particularly savory accompaniments. To create this board choose: Manchego, drunken goat and feta cheeses, grapes, olives and peppered salami. To create this board choose: Cervasi Parmigiano Reggiano, Jarlsberg, Fiorucci Italian Deli Meats, Wood River Alpha s Morning Sun, Roth Grand Cru, 34 Crisps, Three Little Pigs Petits Toasts, Roth Havarti, Sartori BellaVitano Reserve, BelGioioso Blue Cheese wedge, fresh apple slices, preserves, candied pecans, peanuts, salami, prosciutto and grapes.

Salmon With its exceptional nutritional value and ease of preparation, salmon is the perfect go-to for a time saving and delicious main dish. Prepared simply in a way that will keep it moist and tender, it is sure to become a new favorite during the holidays. Ask your butcher for the freshest whole salmon side or fillet. Crown Roast Known as the juiciest and most succulent cut of pork, the crown roast is a holiday favorite. Combine the delicious taste with its truly elegant presentation, and you have a meal that is set to impress. Cooking with the bones in adds to the flavor and the moistness of the meat.

7 THE PERFECT accompaniments While the heart of the holiday meal may be the most celebrated, it s the accompaniments that really bring it all together.

FOR MORE GREAT HOLIDAY SIDE DISHES VISIT 3 medium (about 3 lbs) sweet potatoes ½ cup shelled pecans ¼ cup brown sugar ¼ cup real maple syrup ½ teaspoon cinnamon 1 /8 teaspoon ground cloves A pinch salt Serves 6 1. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Rinse, peel and cube the sweet potatoes into ¾ inch cubes. Roughly chop the pecans. 2. Place the sweet potatoes in a large bowl and add the pecans, maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Toss to coat. Spread the sweet potatoes out on a large baking sheet covered in foil.

Gradually add the half and half cream while continuing to whisk. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. 3. Once mixture reaches a boil, stir constantly for 2 minutes, or until thickened. Remove from heat and add rosemary, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine. Add potato slices and gently stir to evenly coat potatoes. 4.
