A new food trend has hit our plates - and it's perfect for socially distanced gatherings and festive get togethers in our bubbles this Christmas.
Individual charcuterie boards served in mini mason jars - or 'jarcuterie' as it's more affectionately known - is the latest food trend that's gaining popularity on social media.
Instagram users have been posting their take on the fun food trend, which is made up of a mini selection of cheeses, cured meats, olives and fruit.
Also included in the mix are pickles and fresh veg. Yum!
In mini form, these charcuterie delights are just the right size to enjoy alone or as part of a socially distanced lunch.
Originally created by Instagram account Noble Graze (@noblegraze), the food grazing company first posted the cute trend back in July, captioning it: "Jarcuterie is the official grazing snack of social distancing happy hour!" with a yellow heart emoji.
What a cute idea!
And it's fair to say that others fell in love with the photogenic snack too.
As @grazeaboard so aptly put it: "Sometimes you have to think outside of the box...and board."
Meanwhile, @grazehtx wrote: "The Covid friendly hors d'oeuvres you've been waiting for! No sharing needed here- it's the perfect size & all for yourself!"
And we couldn't agree more!
And we love this festive take on the jarcuterie trend.
So how do you make this cute snack?
Start by evenly diving your meats and cheeses between guests, then simply build inside the jars, layering up each food element to create an aesthetically pleasing set up.
Use skewers and build at different heights to create a visually appealing snack.
But what if you don't have a mason jar to hand?
Noble Graze suggests using a glass jar or other glass as a substitute.
"No jars for jarcuterie? No problem! Say hello to jarcuterie's cute cousin, cupcuterie," they added. And we're on board with this idea too.
These individual jars of charcuterie are the perfect snack for enjoying at a two-metre distance, so how could we resist?
