Dried cranberries add chewy bursts of sweetness to this nut roll recipe—you could substitute raisins, if you prefer.

Walnuts, dried cherries, and sage are sprinkled between layers of Sherry-flavored cheddar and pungent Stilton. It's best to slice the apples and pears (which are served with the terrine) just before plating to prevent browning.

Beets don't often make an appearance on the Thanksgiving table—but they should. They add an earthy sweetness to this mix of roasted vegetables.
