Brie Glazed with Kiwi and Cranberry Marmalade
Preparation Time15 min
Cooking Time40 min
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoon currants
- 3 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon cloves, ground
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice, ground
- 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
- 2 kiwifruit, peeled, sliced, and quartered
- 2 pecan pieces
- 1 wheel of brie cheese (approximately one pound)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine the cranberries, currants, brown sugar, cloves, ginger root, allspice, mustard, and water in a medium saucepan. Cook gently over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the cranberries swell and the liquid thickens into a jam-like consistency, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. When cool, stir in the chopped pecan pieces. Place the brie wheel on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Spread the cooled cranberry marmalade evenly over the top of the brie. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the brie round swells. Remove from the oven and gently slide the brie onto a cheese board or plate. Top the cranberry marmalade with chopped kiwifruit. Serve immediately with crisp crackers.
