This is exactly how to build a holiday cheeseboard complete with a variety of cheeses, breads, crackers, nuts, fruit preserves, and mustards! This quick spiced apricot preserve recipe is easy to make ahead to add to the board, or to use as a hostess gift!
To make the preserves, heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the apricot preserves, cinnamon stick, cloves, allspice, and honey. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently or until mixture has reduced a bit in volume.
Whole still hot, remove the cinnamon stick, cloves, and allspice, and discard. I left a few of mine in there. Let cool and serve with your cheeses!
To assemble the cheeseboard, arrange everything on a platter. I usually like to place different cheeses closer together, and kind of scatter everything throughout, but it's totally up to you. Have fun with it!
