📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cut two blocks of the cheeses into small cubes and two blocks into wedges. Cut the last block into a star using a star cookie cutter, cut scraps into cubes. Keep cheeses chilled until ready to use.
2
To assemble tree you'll need a very large area (about 28 by 20-inches, I just did it directly on the clean marble tabletop), you can use white parchment paper underneath if desired.
3
Start by forming the bottom of the "Christmas tree" using the green grapes cut into separate long stems. Top those with rosemary sprigs and dot with red grapes. Leave a space between the grapes in the bottom middle area and add the pecans there for the "stump" of the tree.
4
Next add a layer of cheeses, using half of the wedges shapes and 2/3 of the cheese cubes.
5
Then add a layer of half of 2/3 of the salami placed above the cheese layer.
6
Next add the sliced kiwi followed by a layer of raspberries.
7
After those layers add another layer of cheeses, 1/3 of the remaining cubes and over the top of those cubes and the remaining 1/2 of the wedges.
8
Add a layer of pistachios or pumpkin seeds followed by the olives for the top piont of the "tree".
9
Last add the star atop and finish with a "ground" of crackers spread beneath the tree. Serve shortly after assembling as ingredients shouldn't sit at room temperature longer than ⏱️ 2 hours.
