BAKED BRIE WITH CRANBERRY CHUTNEY
Ingredients
- 8 oz (250 g) round brie cheese
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp cloves
Directions
- For easier trimming, place brie in freezer for 30 minutes.
- To prepare chutney, combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer over low heat until thickened, about 20 minutes; cool. Chutney may be refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 1 month.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Trim top rind off brie. Place brie in a greased baking dish that fits it almost exactly. Bake just until cheese is soft and melted, about 15 - 20 minutes. Do not overbake. Spoon chutney over cheese. Serve with crackers.
