Ingredients
- 30 pieces salami
- 6 slices cheddar cheese

- 6 gherkins

Instructions
- Place a small sprig of rosemary in the bottom of each charcuterie cup.

- Skewer a cheese star and then add 2 blackberries onto a separate skewer.
- Thread a gherkin onto its own skewer.
- Add 3 grapes to a skewer.

- Place the prepared skewers into the charcuterie cups.

Notes
- For a balanced look, trim the bottom of skewers so items sit at different heights.
- Customize with your favorite cheeses, meats, fruits, and crackers.
- Consider adding a small portion of dip like hummus or ranch.
- Swap rosemary for thyme or mint for a New Year’s theme.
