Ingredients
For the cranberry sauce:
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup lingonberries or cranberries
- 2 prigs thyme
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- a pinch of nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon optional, zest
- honey to taste
For the baked brie:
- 9 oz or 250 grams Brie cheese wheel
- a handful pecans roasted
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 prigs thyme to garnish
- salt to taste, freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
- baguette to serve, crusty or ciabatta bread
Instructions
For the cranberry sauce:
- In a small saucepan bring water with brown sugar to a boil over medium heat. Add the berries and thyme sprigs and cook until the berries burst open, for about 5 minutes, stirring often. Crush the unburst berries with a potato masher. Discard the thyme sprigs. Add the spices, lemon juice and zest and honey if the sauce is too sour for your taste.
For the baked brie:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F or 180 C, remove all the plastic packaging from the brie and place the brie wheel into a wooden box it comes with. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Top the baked brie with cranberry sauce, roasted pecans and drizzle with honey. Decorate with thyme sprigs. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Enjoy with crusty baguette or ciabatta bread!
Notes
- Lingonberries are not only delicious, they also have so many health benefits that they are considered a new superfood! It makes them worth to try if you haven't yet.
