Here are a few of the best spreads to try this new year: 

Fig Jam

Fig jam is a sweet and aromatic spread that does not have an overbearing taste to it.

• brie cheese
• blue cheese
• camembert
• goat cheese
• Havarti cheese

Fig jam can be served with a variety of cheeses, including soft cheeses, and can be topped with sliced apples or pears, walnuts, cashews, dried apricots, or dried figs.

Whole Grain Mustard

Charcuterie boards benefit from a spread that is bold, acidic, and moderately seasoned like whole-grain mustard. On charcuterie boards, a traditional spread to use is mustard made with whole grain.

• Parmesan cheese
• aged cheddar cheese
• gouda cheese

Salami, aged sharp cheeses, olives, and pickles are all wonderful accompaniments to mustard made from whole grains.

Orange Chutney

Orange chutney is a spread for charcuterie boards that is chunky, sweet and has the flavor of citrus.

• gouda cheese
• Parmesan cheese
• aged cheddar cheese

On top of your preferred aged and intensely flavored cheese, orange chutney and almonds make a delicious combination

Peach Jam

As a spread for cheeses, peach jam possesses a flavor that is both sweet and energizing.

• Parmesan cheese
• Gorgonzola cheese
• goat cheese
• brie cheese

You can use cashews or pecans to garnish prosciutto, sharp or mild cheeses, and peach jam that has been topped with either of those two nuts.

Onion Jam

A cheese that pairs well with the intense flavor of caramelized onion jam is brie. Pair onion jam with old, sharp cheeses or medium cheeses for a delicious combination.

• Havarti cheese
• aged cheddar cheese
• blue cheese

You can pair onion jam with strong sharp or medium cheeses, as well as chorizo or salami when you serve it to your guests.

Black Current Jam

Because black current jam is on the sweeter side, aged, pungent cheese is the kind of spread that works best with it.

• aged cheddar cheese
• feta cheese
• Parmesan cheese
• blue cheese

A strong cheese, coupled with prosciutto or salami, is a delicious pairing option for black current jam.
