Ingredients
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup sultanas
- ¼ cup sherry full cream
- 1 bay leaf optional
- 3 Tbsp Cherry preserve or other good quality berry preserve
- black pepper freshly ground
- 1/2 tsp thyme leaves, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup pistachios shelled
- 250 puff pastry
- 250 camembert or wedge of Brie, 350gm
- egg beaten
- baguette or any cracker, toasted slices, to serve
Instructions
- Put the raisins, sherry, and bay leaf into a small pot and place it on low heat. Allow the raisins to heat through and the sherry to evapourate. About 3 minutes. Add the preserve, thyme, and a grind of black pepper and stir to combine.
- Cook for a further minute or two. Take the pot off the heat, add the pistachios, and allow the mixture to thicken and cool.
- When you are ready to bake the Camembert, preheat the oven to 180C.
- Take the thawed but still cool puff pastry out of the fridge and place it on a floured surface. Roll it a little thinner if necessary and thoroughly wrap the cheese. Place this piece of pastry on a lined baking sheet.
- Place the wheel of Camembert or Brie in the center of the pastry. Remove the bay leave and spread the raisin and pistachio mix over the cheese.
- Brush the inside of the pastry with a beaten egg, pull each corner of the pastry over the cheese ensuring you wrap it up as tightly as possible. You want to almost create a pulled-up bag shape around the cheese. Overlap each piece at the top and ensure the sides are well sealed.
- Bake for 30 – 35 minutes and until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up. Garnish with roasted grapes and serve with toasted baguette slices.
- *To roast the grapes, place a few small bunches of seedless red grapes on a baking tray and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Toss about and bake in the oven before you bake the cheese or alongside it for about 10 minutes.
