INGREDIENTS FOR JARCUTERIE {Charcuterie in a Jar}
You can use the same rules and suggestions I wrote about in my ‘How to Assemble a Charcuterie Platter‘ for your Jarcuterie.
- Consider different colors, shapes, and flavors in mind as you select ingredients.
- You can choose from salami, pepperoni, summer sausage, Prosciutto, fresh baby mozzarella balls, or various cubed cheeses.
- Olives, pickled okra, and grape tomatoes are good choices.
- Think about cheese straws or breadsticks.
- Add some fresh fruit like grapes and strawberries.
- Layer in almonds, peanuts, or any nuts.
You can even cut the cheese into cute shapes with cookie cutters.
WINE PAIRINGS for your INDIVIDUAL CHARCUTERIE JARS
Either red or white wine pairs nicely with charcuterie. Choose a medium-bodied red wine like a Pinot Noir or a Cabernet. As well, a light white, slightly sweet like a Chenin Blanc, goes nicely with salty ham and rich cheese.

Jarcuterie
Ingredients
- 8 pieces salami
- 8 pieces pepperoni
- 8 pieces proscuitto
- 8 slices or cubes Havarti cheese
- 8 mini balls mozzarella fresh
- 16 medium pimento stuffed green olives
- 16 medium pickled okra or pickled vegetable or marinated mushrooms
- 1 small bunch seedless red or green grapes
- 6 to 8 ounces nuts almonds, peanuts, pistachios
- crackers optional
- breadsticks optional
- strawberries optional
- tomatoes optional
- cheese optional
Instructions
- Place smaller items like nuts, seeds, and olives or grapes in the bottom.
- Fold your meats in half or quarters (depending on how big they are) and thread on a skewer alternately with cheese cubes and olives. You can also add fruit to a skewer. Add a couple to each jar at the back.
- Add thin breadsticks or pickled okra. Basically, you'll add the tallest items to the back and fill in with the other items. There's no wrong way so have fun with it.
- Fill with more fruit and nuts to fill the jar.
- I don't recommend making these longer than 2 hours before you serve them. Store them in the refrigerator in a container if you have one large enough. This will help prevent the it from drying out.
