A small group of “exhausted-from-Passover-prepping” YAD women took time out on a Thursday evening to come together, swap advice, share stories, and create beautiful kosher for Passover dessert charcuterie boards.
Combining classic sweets such as jelly rings, chocolate covered marshmallows, and jelly fruit slices… with relative “newcomers:” sour gummie bears and rainbow sprinkled nonpareils, the women used their creative culinary skills to make beautiful, colorful, and delicious boards.
Rounding out the boards, they added slices of rainbow cake and coconut macaroons. And to ensure its nutritional balance, they included beautiful, dried apples and apricots – thus achieving a truly tasteful balance of “all things sweet and Pesedik-y.”
Some planned to share their board at a seder they were attending, while others hoped to satisfy the dessert cravings of guests at their own seder tables (hoping to get a piece or two, before the kids came triumphant – having located the afikomen!).
Perhaps sweetest of all… the event provided a reason to gather with one another in the days leading up to Passover, to talk about family, community, traditions, and the things in life that really matter.
