Ingredients

1 lbs butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 bunch grapes
1 tablespoon honey
½ cup walnuts
½ cup jam (apricot, fig, strawberry are my favorites)
2 tablespoons fresh dill
5 cloves roasted garlic
½ cup microgreens

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit. Drizzle grapes with olive oil and place on baking sheet. Roast until they start to wrinkle, about 10-15 minutes, once done remove tray from oven and allow grapes to completely cool.
Meanwhile whip room temperature butter with a hand mixer until it becomes smooth and airy.
First divide the butter block in half and place each half in its own bowl
Whip each half of the butter.
To one half stir in your roasted garlic, fresh herbs, spices.
Using a silicon spatula (what I'm using in the picture) or an offset spatula, swirl your butter on one side of the board. Leaving a channel in the center (for some of your bread and dippers) make a similar design with butter on the lower half of the board as well. One side will be sweet and the other savory.
For the sweet side: drizzle honey, add chopped walnuts or pecans. Add the completely cooled roasted grapes. Add the sweet and plain breads and other dippers.
For the savory side: sprinkle with sea salt. I added these spicy purple radish microgreens for some more color and visual interest.
Add your breads. Use a mixture of plain, savory, and sweet breads.
In small bowls add any additional sides like jams, jellies, preserves, olives, etc.
Serve with small spoons for people who wish to use them.
