Strawberry Glazed Brie

By The Canadian Living Test Kitchen

Surround this gooey warm cheese with crisp crackers to scoop up the cheese and some of the tangy topping. You can use an 8-oz (250 g) wedge of cheese if you can’t find the rounds; however, the melting cheese won’t look as attractive.

Servings: 8

 

3/4 cup (175 mL) strawberries, mashed
4 tsp (20 mL) packed brown sugar
2 tsp (10 mL) lemon juice
1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) cinnamon
2 rounds (each 4 oz/125 g) Brie cheese

Preparation:

In small saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 6 minutes or until thickened; let cool slightly.

Remove rind from top of Brie; place on ovenproof platter. Spread strawberry mixture evenly over top; bake in 300°F (150°C) oven for about 12 minutes or until cheese is softened but not melted.
