Fruit & Nut Cheese Board Recipe
A nice mix of sweet and savory, this fruit and nut cheese board features some of our products and some common finds at your local grocery store. This year, National Apricot Day fell on a Sunday, so this board was enjoyed with a nice Apricot Cider in front of a warm fireplace.
Our Apricot Pepper Sauce is one of our bestsellers. Pictured on our board is that sauce in the light blue cup. If you prefer an alternative to the Pepper Sauce, Apricot Preserves is a great option. Next time, I will use the Apricot Pepper Sauce with Cream Cheese as a spread for the crackers.
Creating your own fruit and nut cheese spread is simple. Here is a list of ingredients we used to create this board.

- Stewart & Jasper Apricot Pepper Sauce
- Stewart & Jasper Dried Apricots

Instructions
Placement of the different foods across a board can be as simple or complex as you want.
I used a custom cutting board I made for my wife for Christmas a few years ago, but I really like Boos Block cutting boards as an alternative.
The Jadeite Ramekin containing Apricot Pepper Sauce is a vintage find from my wife’s collection. She has found so many interesting cups and containers that add a unique touch to the board.
- Pour Apricot Pepper Sauce into cup
- Spread crackers around the cup
- Spread Roasted Salted Mixed Nuts around the cup on top of the crackers
- Add some Caramel Almond Popcorn
