Charcutertree

Drain the brine from the olives and/or pickles. Cut your Canadian cheeses into bite-sized pieces, aiming for uniform shapes like small cubes. Prepare meats by rolling or cutting them to your desired size.

Wrap the entire cone with plastic wrap or food-safe cellophane, ensuring that none of the Styrofoam is exposed, even at the bottom.

Lay out your ingredients on a flat surface and insert a toothpick through each piece. Insert the toothpick so it goes through the entire piece but doesn't stick out on the other side.

Begin building the tree by placing the ingredients onto the cone using the toothpicks. Press the toothpick only enough to secure it, leaving a good portion sticking out for easy removal. Start from the bottom and work your way up.

For a spiral arrangement, create a bottom ring and start a spiral with a chosen item, continuing all the way up the cone. Add rows of ingredients on both sides of the spiral, keeping them close together to cover the Styrofoam.

As you work your way to the top, build the tree upwards, leaving only a small section at the top open.

Cut a thick slice of Canadian cheese or meat and use a cookie cutter or sharp knife to make a star shape. Attach the star to the top with a toothpick, inserting it from the bottom to hide it.

For a branch effect, securely press sprigs of rosemary onto the tree among the cheeses and meats.

Serve immediately and enjoy! If you're not serving it right away, wrap it with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge until you're ready.
