Time 45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup fresh or dried cranberries
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons finely chopped gingerroot
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
Vegetable oil
1 round Brie cheese (8 ounces)
Slivered almonds, toasted, if desired
Crackers, if desired

Steps:

  • Mix cranberries, sugar, vinegar, water, gingerroot, cinnamon and cloves in 1-quart saucepan. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered about 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened. Cool slightly. (Chutney will thicken as it stands.)
  • Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly brush ovenproof plate with vegetable oil. Place unpeeled cheese on center of plate. Bake uncovered 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is soft and partially melted.
  • Spoon half of the chutney over cheese. Sprinkle with almonds. Serve with crackers. Spoon remaining chutney onto cheese as needed, or save for future use.
