Take your grazing boards to the next level with this creative charcuterie pinata ball. All your favorite edible meats and cheeses in a fun and delicious presentation for for your next party.
Cut 4 equal pieces of jute cord, each about 3 feet long, and tie them together with a knot at one end.
Wrap the styrofoam ball with plastic wrap. Place the ball on top of the knot and bring the 4 cords up around the ball, leaving an equal distance between the cords. Tie cords tightly at the top of the ball with another knot or 2 to secure the ball in place. You should have 4 equal size sections of open space on the ball
Section #1: fold salami as shown and place an olive on top. Press a toothpick through and secure it to the top of one of the sections on the ball. Repeat this process until the section is completely full.
Section #2: place a rosemary sprig winding down the center and surround it with rolled prosciutto roses and cheese cubes, securing each item individually with a toothpick.
Section #3 (fruit): place a couple of thyme sprigs in the center of the section. Add strawberry halves over the bottom of the sprigs to form a vase shape and fill in the remaining space with pineapple chunks, securing everything with toothpicks.
Section #4: randomly place strawberry halves, pineapple chunks, blackberries, and cheese cubes until the space is full, securing items with toothpicks.
Carefully suspend over a buffet table or leave a little open space on the bottom of the ball and use as a table centerpiece.
