Number Of Ingredients 11

-1 brie cheese wheel, 8 inches in diameter
-3 cups cranberries
-3/4 cup brown sugar
-1/3 cup currants (raisins may be substituted)
-1/3 cup water
-1 tsp dry mustard
-1 tsp ground allspice
-1 tsp ground cardamom
-1/2 tsp ground cloves
-1/2 tsp ground ginger

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. To make marmalade: Combine all ingredients except cheese in pot, cook over medium heat until berries pop. To prepare cheese: Use a sharp knife and cut a circle in the top of the rind, being careful to leave a 1/2-inch border of rind. Remove the center of the cheese casing carefully. Spread the cranberry mixture over the top and place the cheese in a baking dish. Bake until soft, about 15-20 minutes. Cool slightly and serve with apple and pear slices and/or crackers.
