This festive arrangement was inspired by the popular holiday wreaths decorated with fruits. They take their name from Luca Della Robbia, the 15th-century Florentine sculptor known for crafting lifelike garlands of leaves and fruits. Ingredients:
1 stilton. a good cheese shop or a well-stocked supermarket should have baby stilton (the smaller rounds are available only during the holidays). a quarter of a whole stilton wheel will work, too. |
2 lemon leaves and pine boughs. |
3 dried fruits such as apricots, calimyrna and black mission figs, and tart cherries. |
4 shelled hazelnuts and almonds. |
Directions:
1. To assemble: Overlap leaves around outside edge of round serving platter. Place cheese in the middle and cluster fruits and nuts decoratively around the cheese. Serve with crackers.
