- Manchego cheese (8 oz, sliced)
- Roasted almonds (1 cup)

Helpful Tips
- If you can’t find fresh figs, dried figs or apricots make a great substitute.
- For a more savory touch, add prosciutto or salami to the board.
- Use a variety of bread types, such as whole grain or sourdough, to cater to different tastes.
Storage Instructions
Wrap any leftover cheese tightly in wax paper or beeswax wraps and store in the refrigerator. Fresh fruits should be consumed within a day or two for optimal flavor and texture.
Pairings
To further elevate your Autumn Harvest Board, pair it with a robust red wine, like a Cabernet Sauvignon, or a crisp white wine, like a Sauvignon Blanc. For a non-alcoholic option, spiced apple cider is the perfect autumnal drink.
