Best Cranberry Orange Glazed Brie Recipes

BAKED BRIE WITH QUICK CRANBERRY JAM

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly caramelized, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Add the cranberries, orange juice, sugar and salt, then stir and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is very thick and the liquid in the pan has completely evaporated. Stir in the orange zest and transfer to a small bowl to cool completely. (The jam may be made up to 1 day in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.)
• When you are ready to bake the brie, heat the oven to 400 degrees. Working quickly, unfold the sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured piece of parchment. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll it out to an 11-by-11-inch square (the pastry should be about 1/8-inch thick). Place the brie in the center of the pastry. Use a paring knife, and leaving a 3 to 3 1/2-inch border, trim the pastry to form a circle around the brie. Discard the scraps or save them for another use.
• Spoon the reserved cranberry jam on top of the brie, spreading it into an even layer about 1/4-inch thick. (You might not use all the jam.)
• In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water. Brush the pastry border lightly with egg wash, then lift the puff pastry to wrap the brie snugly, one side at a time, trimming the pastry so you don't have too many overlapping layers. Press all sides of the brie firmly, making sure to tightly seal any seams in the pastry with your hands. Transfer the puff-pastry wrapped brie and the parchment to a sheet pan. At this point, if the pastry has warmed up considerably, place the brie in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill slightly before baking. (You can assemble the brie up to this point and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before brushing on the egg wash and baking.)
• Brush the whole exterior of the pastry generously with egg wash, then bake until the pastry has puffed and is golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
• Drizzle the brie with honey and sprinkle with pistachios, if using. Allow to cool for about 15 to 20 minutes before cutting into it, so the cheese has time to firm up slightly. Serve warm with baguette slices or crackers.

SWEET ORANGE AND CRANBERRY BAKED BRIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Meanwhile, put cranberries in a small bowl and pour boiling water over them to cover. Let stand 15 minutes until plump; drain.
• At the same time, slice off top rind of wheel of Brie. Put Brie in a pie plate.
• Bake in the preheated oven until Brie is warmed through, about 15 minutes. Top with orange marmalade, cranberries, walnuts, and mint (if using).

EASY ORANGE CRANBERRY GLAZE

Steps:

• Mix together the orange juice, brown sugar, and cranberry sauce in a saucepan, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, drop in the cinnamon stick, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cranberry sauce is melted and the glaze is hot and bubbling, about 10 minutes.
• To use: brush the glaze all over a roasted turkey during the last 45 minutes of cooking. Return the turkey to the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes to set the glaze. Repeat several more times before the end of cooking time.

CRANBERRY-GLAZED BRIE

Steps:

• Combine first 9 ingredients in a medium saucepan.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 8 minutes or until cranberries pop.
• Set aside, and let cool.
• Remove rind from top of Brie, cutting to within 1/2-inch of outside edges.
• Place cheese on a baking sheet; spoon cranberry mixture over top.
• Bake at 300ºF for 20 minutes, or until cheese is softened, but not melted.
• Transfer cheese to a serving platter; garnish, if desired.
• Serve with assorted crackers.

CRANBERRY ORANGE BRIE

Steps:

• Combine Cranberry sauce, brown sugar, orange extract and nutmeg.
• Peel (or scrape) off top rind of a round 8 oz brie, leaving a 1/4" rim.
• Top with cranberry mixture.
• Sprinkle with pecans.
• Bake in 500 degree oven 5 minutes.
• I like to serve this with plain water crackers, such as made by Carr.

BAKED CRANBERRY ORANGE BRIE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to about 400 degrees.
• Place cranberries in a large bowl and add the zest of an orange, the juice of the same orange, a large splash (about 2 tablespoons) of real maple syrup, and a large pinch of rosemary. Mix thoroughly.
• Pour about half of cranberry mixture onto center of oven-safe serving dish (I use a glass pie pan). Place the brie round on top of the pile, then pour the remaining mixture over the top of the brie. Place this in the oven and remove when the cranberries are soft and perhaps just starting to burst, and the brie is warmed through (about 15-20 minutes).
• Consume--spoons may help.
