Name: Valentine's Day Party Board
Total time: 45 min
Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted roasted whole almonds; 6 ounces unsalted roasted pistachios in shells; 32 large strawberries, stems attached; 8 ounces raspberries; 8 ounces blackberries; 16 large dried, pitted Medjool dates; 4 thin slices prosciutto, cut into quarters; 4 blood oranges, peel and pith removed, sliced crosswise; 2 tablespoons pomegranate arils; 1 (4 ounce) bar bittersweet chocolate; 1 tablespoon honey

Step 2

Wash strawberries, raspberries and blackberries; pat dry with paper towels. Set the berries aside to dry completely.
Step 3

Wrap each date in a piece of prosciutto and place on the board next to the bowls. Arrange the raspberries and blackberries next to the dates and bowls. Arrange blood orange slices by slightly layering them around the berries. Sprinkle pomegranate arils over the orange slices.
Step 4

Arrange the dry strawberries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Coarsely chop chocolate and place in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave on High in 15-second increments, stirring in between, for 1 minute, or until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Allow the chocolate to cool slightly before spooning into a piping bag or a zip-top plastic bag; cut a very small hole in the tip of the bag. Pipe the chocolate onto the strawberries in a zigzag pattern; let the berries stand until the chocolate sets, about 15 minutes. Place the strawberries on the outside edge of the board. Just before serving, drizzle honey over the prosciutto-wrapped dates.
