This fiery yet flavorful charcuterie board pairs beautifully with a homemade spicy honey drizzle using Mad Dog 357 Pure Ghost hot sauce. The heat from the sauce complements the creamy cheeses, cured meats, and sweet fruits, creating a well-balanced experience.
Ingredients:
For the Spicy Honey Drizzle:
- ½ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon Mad Dog 357 Pure Ghost hot sauce (adjust for heat preference)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
For the Charcuterie Board:
- Cheeses: Brie, aged cheddar, gouda, blue cheese
- Meats: Prosciutto, salami, chorizo, capicola
- Fruits: Fresh figs, grapes, apple slices, dried apricots
- Extras: Honey-roasted nuts, olives, crackers, and crusty bread
Instructions:
- Make the Spicy Honey: In a small bowl, mix honey, Mad Dog 357 Pure Ghost, apple cider vinegar, and smoked paprika until smooth. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Assemble the Board: Arrange cheeses, meats, and fruits on a wooden board. Place nuts, olives, and crackers in small bowls or spread them around.
- Drizzle & Serve: Lightly drizzle the spicy honey over the cheeses (especially Brie and blue cheese) and a few cured meats. Serve extra on the side for dipping.
🔥 Pro Tip: Pair this board with a crisp white wine or a bold red to balance the heat!
