• 4 oz water crackers

1. 1

   1. Warm the honey and stir in the whole-grain mustard, then brush the mixture lightly over the salami and prosciutto folds to create a light glaze.

2. 2

   2. Place the brie wedges and cheddar slices in a diagonal stripe down the center of a large wooden board, mimicking the white stripe of a flag.

   3. Arrange the glazed meats folded or fanned out in a second stripe beside the cheeses, leaving space on the left corner for the blueberry 'star field'.

4. 4

   4. Fill the top-left corner of the board densely with blueberries, then line the remaining stripes with rows of hulled strawberries pointing outward for a bold red stripe.
