Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh blackberries
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 1 circle of Brie or Camembert cheese
• 1 teaspoon sea salt (I used merlot flavored pink sea salt. Any sea salt will do, but the colored salt was a fun twist! I found it at Whole Foods)
• Crusty French Bread for dipping

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400F
• In a small saucepan, combine blackberries, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil on high heat, and then reduce to a simmer and let cook for approximately 12-15 minutes. The blackberries will become soft and bright in color and a pinkish purple syrup will form. Take off of the heat and drain the blackberries, keeping the syrup in a separate bowl. Set both aside.
• Take the cheese out of the wrapping and cut the top rind off, cutting only about 1/4 inch down, just to take off the top rind. Place the cheese back into its wooden box, or directly on a parchment lined baking sheet, rind side down.
• Sprinkle the cheese with the thyme and sea salt. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until cheese if visibly melty (yum!)
• Take out of oven and drizzle with syrup. Top with the blackberries. Serve with French bread for dipping. Enjoy!
