Fruit and Cheese Board

Consider fruit and cheese as a fine dessert option, any time of the year.
Prepare two or three seasonal fruits, served in neat slices or cubes, enhanced with an appropriate flavour liqueur, to complement a small selection of cheeses.

Finish off with a good coffee and chocolate truffle for each guest, and voila!



GOOD PARTNERS TO MOST TABLE-CHEESE VARIETIES:

Pineapple slices, soaked in icing sugar and Kirsch (cherry) liqueur

Seedless grapes
Paw-paw soaked in mix of orange juice and Malibu liqueur
Lychee and mandarin mix, soaked in orange juice with preserved ginger slivers
Peach slices or halves, soaked in peach-flavoured sparkling wine
