Charcuterie

Charcuterie traditionally referred to prepared meat products such as bacon, ham, cured sausage and confit. Currently, a Charcuterie Board may feature not only cured meat but also cheeses, crackers and sundry non-meat products. As used on this page, Charcuterie will be limited to dried meat. Fresh sausage also falls outside the current focus. If you are interested in recipes for fresh sausage (not cured/dried), see below
