Wash the grapes and give them a good shake to remove excess water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make layers for the tree<\/strong> &#8211; Lay out a tray or any kind of flat surface that you are planning to make your tree on. I used a 12 x 10 inch (32 x 25 cm) tray. Start at the bottom and work your way up alternating cheese and grape layers. I made two layers of grapes and three layers of the cheese.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Finish shape of tree<\/strong> &#8211; You may have to play with the the shape a little to get the desired shape of you tree. Once you have the shape you like, you can decorate and finish the tree.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Decorate<\/strong> &#8211; Scatter the pomegranates around the tree and tuck in the arugula leaves. Make a trunk using the pecans. I used a cookie cutter to make a star shape out of sliced cheese.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Serve or store<\/strong> &#8211; This can be served immediately or covered in the fridge up to 24 hours before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure

Avoid cheese like mozzarella, blue cheese or goats cheese.  They are simply too soft for this platter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prep ahead of time<\/strong> &#8211; If you are are serving this at an event, you can prep and store it in the fridge up to one day before.  I would avoid decorating it until just before serving though.  So before you serve it, add the nuts, pomegranate seeds and arugula leaves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Amounts are approximate<\/strong> &#8211; Keep in mind the measurements are approximate for this tree.

Just don&#8217;t add any soft fruit like raspberries or strawberries.  They may leak and discolour the cheese.
