Party Panache, Pumpkin Pecan Butter Boards and Table
Butter Boards are all the rage right now,
they are literally cutting boards smeared with a thick layer
of flavored butter
and served with a variety of breads, crackers,
and fruit for spreading and dipping
I decided to put a little spin on the concept
by making individual butter boards and serving them on plates
with the dippers ready for selecting
on a tray in the center of the table
I made a sweet and savory seasonal
Pumpkin Pecan Butter
First mix the butter with chopped pecans,
brown sugar, and maple syrup
Once this mixture is combined, add the pumpkin puree
Spread a thick layer of cream cheese onto the board
Top with a generous layer of pumpkin pecan butter
Garnish with chopped dried cranberries and honey roasted pistachios
I set a table with all things pumpkin
and placed a board with apples, cookies, and crackers,
on a tray in the center
The choices for things to dip or spread is infinite,
toast points, baguette slices, bagels,
cookies, crackers, apples, pears…
I chose shortbread cookies, apple slices,
and Nut Thins crackers
This recipe is adapted from The Reluctant Entertainer

It sure is the latest trend – that and cream cheese boards! (and you combined both!!) After trying this last week I decided i prefer butter in molds. Your recipe sounds delish, tho!!

Hi Lydia, I am unable to comment on your blog, it keeps giving me a not acceptable message. I have also had this happen on another blog that I regularly comment on so I think it’s just a technically glitch that hopefully will be resolved shortly~
I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the feature this week and the kind words about my art tutorials, Thank you!
You’re welcome! Have a great weekend!
