Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh whole cranberries, washed
• ½ c water
• ¾ c granulated sugar
• ⅓ c good quality balsamic vinegar
• 1 round of brie (mine was about 14 ounces)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• crackers or sliced and toasted baguette bread for serving

Directions

• 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 ⅓-1/2 cup of the cranberry balsamic sauce and bake 12-15 minutes until brie is soft and melted.
• Serve immediately with crackers or a sliced baguette and additional cranberry balsamic sauce if desired.
