Considering my self a cheese cynosure and lover, I just had to try this baked brie with cranberry pecan sauce. It is certainly a party pleaser and is a welcomed addition at any social gathering.
I love brie with its earthy, fruity, mild, just about mushroom like texture and flavour. Combine this with a sauce make from honey, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and the outcome is simply out of this world. Believe me, you family and friends will go crazy for the baked brie wheel. It is a fantastic idea for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
As always, give it a try and let us know what you think.
