15 oz jar or can of quartered artichoke hearts in water
8 oz jar of olives, a mix of green and black preferred, pitted

Instructions
1-Getting your Christmas Antipasto Wreath ready: is a breeze, and it only takes about 10 minutes from start to finish. Begin by washing the tomatoes and herbs, then drain the olives, artichoke hearts, and mozzarella balls to keep everything fresh. Once prepped, thread the ingredients onto 6-inch skewers, mixing items like tomatoes, meats, cheeses, and olives for a balanced look on each one.
2-Gathering and Prepping Ingredients: Start with your mise en place by slicing the cured meats and cubing the cheese if needed. This step ensures everything is ready to go, making the process smooth and fun, just like putting together a quick family meal on a busy night.
3-Assembling the Wreath: After threading, arrange the skewers in a wreath shape on a round platter for that festive feel. Tuck in sprigs of rosemary for extra decoration and drizzle with high-quality olive oil and balsamic glaze to tie it all together. If you make extra skewers, layer them neatly and finish with freshly cracked pepper for a pop of flavor.
