At Cabot Creamery, we’re all about helping you come up with great party ideas to entertain your friends and family – and who doesn’t enjoy charcuterie meat and cheese pairings these days (and for vegetarian friends, feel free to swap the meat for even more cheese!)? These “jarcuterie” cups are our twist on individual charcuterie plates – easy-to-make and simple-to-eat pairings that make the perfect hand-held snack for any occasion. Cabot offers a variety of types of cheese for charcuterie to choose from, including our Pepper Jack & Sharp Cheddar cheeses. Cut these delicious cheeses in sticks, stars or cubes and add to individual jelly jars. Then pack them full of mixed nuts, dried fruits, thin-sliced meats and some aromatic herbs to make fun and appealing single-serve Jarcuterie Cups. Watch the video below for more tips and instructions.


To make 8 jarcuterie jars, you’ll want to start by preparing the cheese. Cut the cheeses into varying shapes like sticks, stars or cubes.


To assemble the jars, start by skewering one or two olives and two or three pieces of salami folded in quarters. Repeat so you have one salami skewer for each jar. Next, skewer several raspberries and blueberries to mostly fill the skewer. Repeat so you have one fruit skewer for each jar. Add about ¼ cup of nuts to the bottom of each jar.


Finally, place the skewers, breadsticks, dried apricots, and cheese pieces on top of the nuts in each jar, and garnish each jar with a small stalk of rosemary.
