CRANBERRY BAKED BRIE
•1 wheel brie cheese (8-12 ounces)
•1/2 - 3/4 cup cranberry sauce (recipe below)
•citrus rind, mint leaves, or whole cranberries for garnish, if desired
•assorted crackers or bread rounds
CRANBERRY SAUCE
•1 cup orange juice or apple cider
•2/3 cup granulated sugar
•1 bag fresh or thawed frozen cranberries (12 ounces)
•1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Steps:

  • CRANBERRY BAKED BRIE Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove outer wrapping from brie wheel. Using a very sharp knife, remove the rind from the top of the wheel only, leaving the rind on the sides and bottom intact. Place brie in a shallow pie plate or casserole dish that is slightly bigger than the brie itself. Spread the cranberry sauce over the top of the brie, to within 1/4 inch of the edge all the way around. Bake brie in the preheated oven until heated through; about 12-15 minutes. Serve in the casserole dish or transfer carefully to a serving plate. Serve warm with crackers or bread. CRANBERRY SAUCE In a medium saucepan, combine juice and sugar; bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Add cranberries and continue simmering until cranberries pop and mixture has thickened; about 10-12 minutes. Stir in cinnamon, if desired. Serve warm or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one week. Makes about 2 1/2 cups.
