Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups fresh cranberries
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup Good quality Balsamic Vinegar
8 - 12 ounces Brie
16 ounces Crackers or Baguettes sliced

Steps:

  • Make the cranberry compote by simmering the fresh cranberries, water, and sugar in a small pot over medium heat. Allow to simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries pop and the sugar has dissolved
  • Add the balsamic vinegar and simmer an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and transfer to another container. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or brush the inside of your small round baker with oil.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut just the very top rind of the wheel of cheese. Place the wheel cut side up on your baking sheet. Top with about 1/3-1/2 cup of the cranberry balsamic sauce and bake 12-15 minutes until brie is soft and melted.
