Yield Makes about 16 bites

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups fresh cranberries
1 cup good maple syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
16 water crackers (such as Carr's)
8 ounces brie cheese
1/2 cup cranberry chutney or cranberry relish
Fresh mint, for garnish

Steps:

  • Rinse the cranberries and place in a medium bowl. Heat the syrup in a small saucepan until just warm. Pour over the cranberries. (Make sure the syrup is warm, not hot, or the cranberries may pop.) Gently stir with a spoon to coat all the berries. Cool, cover, and let soak in the refrigerator overnight.
  • The next day drain the cranberries in a colander. Place the sugar in a large bowl or baking dish. Add half of the cranberries and roll them around until lightly coated in sugar; repeat with the other half. Place on a baking sheet and let dry, about 1 hour.
