# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen when it actually took twenty minutes.
  • Everyone finds something they love because the variety means no one gets left out.
02 -
  • Cut your fruit no more than thirty minutes before serving, or the juices will weep onto the crackers and make them soggy.
  • Pat your berries dry with a paper towel before arranging—any moisture clinging to them will migrate to your crackers.
03 -
  • Room temperature crackers taste better than cold ones, so skip the refrigerator unless you're storing the whole platter.
  • Arrange everything on a large platter with plenty of negative space—crowding it makes it feel chaotic instead of curated.
