Party Panache, Jarcuterie
Charcuterie boards are all the rage lately
and recently I’ve noticed the concept
of these board buffets being put into jars…
Well that’s brilliant,
and I couldn’t wait to make some!
This is such a great example of “Presentation is Everything”
I used simple everyday ingredients that I had in my refrigerator…
serving these in a unique way makes them party perfect!
Onion dip, celery sticks, cucumber sticks, bacon,
cherry tomatoes, ham, salami and cheddar,
watermelon and grapes
Onion dip went in the bottom of the jar,
then celery and cucumber sticks go into it
Short wooden skewers {available at the grocery store}
were used for the meat, cheese,
and bacon wrapped cherry tomatoes
I used small 8 ounce jars,
perfect for a cocktail party buffet
or a grab and go snack or lunch
You can make these ahead of time,
these fit into a quart size ziplock baggie~
and refrigerate for several days
Perfect for lunch on the porch!
You can also put them on a little tray or plate
Watermelon, grapes and crackers make a nice accompaniment

How clever! What a fun idea for a nibble meal.
Thanks Carole, easy to make, fun to eat!
Brilliant! The end to the double dipping conundrum.
Haha, yes, double dipping solved!
I love the idea of mini Charcuterie board in a jar..the onion dip sounds amazing.
Thanks Angie, I’m sure you could fill a jar with all kinds of amazing things!
Isn’t this fun! And by the water even better!
I can see us doing this for dinner one evening!
Happy Sunday Jenna!
Perfect for picnics too, thanks Nancy!
I’ve seen these on Pinterest, such a fun idea. You did a fantastic job Jenna!
Thanks Martha, I can’t wait to make these for a party, and I sure enjoyed having them made up for a quick and easy lunch!
I love this idea, perfect for lunch or appetizer! I can now add jarcuterie to my vocabulary and my menu!
Fun to make, fun to eat!
A perfect little munchie:@)
Yep!
Yes we love these fun foods as I like to call it. They have become our Friday night meals around my place. Marty and I can make a meal or two off these goodies. I too have saw the ones made up the cute jars and thought this would be a good idea for my family one weekend night. I just love the different ways I see every one doing these fun foods. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
I have another friend who always makes a cheese board for their Friday night supper every week, such a fun idea!
Yum! Great idea and nice portion control, (until you wants seconds, hehe). 😋
Haha, you’re right, great portion control!!
I LOVE this!!! I am so doing this!! What a great idea Jenna!
Happy Monday and have a great week!
thanks Shirley, endless possibilities with this idea, I have done it in martini glasses too, such a fun way to serve apps!
These are a great idea — and perfect for my saved Bonne Maman jars!
thanks Jeanie, your jars would be perfect!
LOL jarcuterie is precious! I love it, and a nice presentation. i like Jeanie’s idea because I als have tons of Bonne Maman jars, too!
yes, those jars would be perfect!
I think this is a great idea. I pinned it in anticipation of the baby shower my daughter and niece will be having for my pregnant daughter this weekend. I used something similar for a veggie and dip presentation for another niece’s baby shower I hosted. I bought DT flower pots and slipped plastic shot glass liners inside. Easy-to-handle foods are the way to go when hosting!
Thanks Rita and your flower pot idea is a great one! I have learned after many parties, that the most popular appetizers are the familiar ones and the ones that are easiest to eat. I know you’re excited about the baby shower, exciting!
I love this idea so much! We recently did this, but in a martini glass. It’s really the perfect way to have appetizers, but I love your idea of a small lunch on the porch with these for two. Always a treat to join you here, and get inspired. xo Lidy
Thanks Lidy, I have done this with martini glasses too, such a fun way to serve guests…and pop the champagne we can entertain and gather again!
I’ve wanted to try this and I will so thanks for the how to. I love this idea, a little different and I love the presentation too! I especially like this too for a small gathering. Thanks Jenna, you always lead the way with great ideas………..
Thank you Emily, they are fun to put together and even everyday ingredients look fancy and special!
Hi Jenna! I’ve done this with veggies and dip in a jar, but I need to get me some skewers and add some meat. That’s the perfect lunch! Ella wants to do a tea party again, and she’d love this.
I saw this clever idea on Pinterest Jenna! So much fun for easy entertaining ♥
Yes, endless possibilities for jar creations!
