Cheese and Fruit Course (For Red Wine)

Not really a "recipe," but my platter combo for accompanying dry red wines. The sharp cheeses pair well with reds as do the fruits.

• Ready In: 5 mins
• Serves: 8-10

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 lb  italian gorgonzola, cut into small cubes
• 1⁄2 lb  aged sharp cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
• 1⁄2 lb  aged asiago cheese, cut into small cubes
• 2  bunches red grapes
• 2  bunches green grapes
• 1  cup  dried apricot
• 1  cup  candied almonds
• 1  cup pecans
•  honey
• 8 -10  fresh figs, halved (when in season in the fall)

Directions

1. Arrange the components on a large wooden cutting board.
2. Keep the honey near the gorgonzola (it's a great pairing).
3. Enjoy with your favorite red wines!
