Brie w/ Cranberry-Sage Topping
This is a beautiful centerpiece to your holiday appetizer table. I am not a huge fan of sage but this makes the dish and can turn everyone into a lover of sage. Just remember: like nutmeg, a little bit of sage goes a long way.
Ingredients
- 1 bag Cleaned Fresh Cranberries (reserve 3 whole fresh berries for decorating at end)
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
- ¼ cup Water
- ¼ cup Sugar
- ½ tsp Dried Sage
- 1 wheel Brie (or Camembert)
- 2-3 leaves Fresh Sage
- Crackers & Breads (for serving)
Instructions
- In a saucepan place Fresh Cranberries (reserve 3 whole fresh cranberries for decorating at end), Lemon Juice, Water, Sugar and Dried Sage. Bring to a boil and reduce heat.
- When cranberries just start to pop remove from heat and stir gently. Let cool.
- Place whole round of Brie on a serving platter or tray. Spoon cooled cranberry-sage sauce on top of cheese.
- Place Fresh Sage Leaves on top of sauce (to look like a bow on a wreath) and place the 3 reserved cranberries in the center of the sage in a triangle pattern.
- Serve with a basket of good crackers and breads.
