Directions
Fruited Cranberry Sauce
Place all ingredients into a medium pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until the cranberries pop and sauce starts to thicken. Remove the cinnamon stick and chill overnight. Sauce freezes very well.
Cranberry Baked Brie
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place brie in a shallow ovenproof ramekin. This is also the ramekin you will serve the cheese in.
Spoon a generous amount of cranberry sauce on top. Reserve extra cranberry sauce for another use.
Place brie in the oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, until the sides are soft and bulge slightly – use something blunt to gently test the sides. Timing will depend on how cold the brie is before you put it in the oven. Garnish with the orange slices and rosemary and serve immediately with crostini or crispy bread.
