Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh whole cranberries, washed
- ½ cup water
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 round of brie
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- crackers or sliced and toasted baguette bread for serving
Instructions
- 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.
