Learn how to make a Jarcuterie, fun individual charcuterie boards served in jars, cups or cones.
By now you’ve probably been to a party where a charcuterie board is being served. They are a great way to serve food to party guests. I love to make them! As we start to gather again, I think a festive jarcuterie is the perfect new party appetizer. Let me show you how to make them!
Jarcuterie is the New Charcuterie
Serve party snacks as a Jarcuterie! Easy individual charcuterie boards served in jars or charcuterie cups are fun bite-sized appetizers.
Charcuterie boards are a great way to serve meats, cheeses, crackers, and vegetables. Now take this idea, and put it into individual charcuterie cups and jars–or jarcuterie!
I love charcuterie boards because they offer something for everyone! Even your pickiest party guests will love something on a dessert charcuterie or an Epic Charcuterie Board. A jarcuterie is the perfect (and sanitary) way to serve your guests something yummy!
What is a Jarcuterie?
A jarcuterie is a beautiful way to serve food for a grab and go snack. When you put charcuterie items into a cup or jar, you have a portable and customizable appetizer or dessert. I love that they are individual servings, perfect for both large and small gatherings!
How Do I Make a Jarcuterie?
To make an individual charcuterie boards in a jar, start by gathering your materials and ingredients. You will need cups or jars and skewers. After that, get as creative as you want with your jarcuterie!
Start by filling the bottom of the jar with candy, nuts, or crackers. Slice and cut your veggies or cheese into shapes if you like. For this Jarcuterie, I made flowers with flower cookie cutters.
The next step is to carefully thread your snacks onto the skewers. Finally, arrange them in the jar. Its that easy!
What Are the Best Things To Put in a Jarcuterie?

I also have a sweet tooth, because I love to make a good dessert jarcuterie using candy as a base filler and all kinds of sweet treats on the skewer. Sweet or savory, your charcuterie cup is sure to please!
