The Ramadan Hosting Board

Step 1

Arrange the serving pieces: Start with a circular board, moon- and star-shaped trays, long oval container, and three small bowls. Place the moon-shaped tray with the top tip of the crescent at 12 o'clock and the curve moving down the left side of the board. Place the star-shaped tray at 6 o'clock and the long oval container from 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock. Place bowl 1 between 2 o'clock and 3 o'clock, bowl 2 diagonally down to the left, and bowl 3 bowl toward the center of the board, resting on the bottom tip of the moon.​

Step 2

Add the cheese: Place the High Plains Cheddar around 1 o'clock, between the moon and the bowl, with the intact piece toward the outside of the board and the crumbles moving toward the moon. Place the Merry Goat Round at 7 o'clock next to the star.​

Step 3

Arrange the crackers in the space between the Merry Goat Round, the moon, and the edge of the board.​

Step 4

Add the walnuts in a pile in the space between the Merry Goat Round, moon, star, and bowl 3, stopping an inch shy of bowl 2.​

Step 5

Add the mango chutney to bowl 3 and the olives to one half of the long oval container.​

Step 6

Fill in the rest of the oval container with pita chips. Add hummus to bowl 1 and pesto to bowl 2. Add the dried apricots to the star-shaped tray. Place the green grapes starting at the High Plains Cheddar and cascading down to fill in the top part of the moon.​

Step 7

Fill in the rest of the moon with dried cherries. Fill in the center of the board with mandarin oranges and grape tomatoes.​
