I have found Pinterest to be the best holiday planning tool! The number of amazing and creative ideas people post on there are too many to count. I saw this one and thought it was a beautiful presentation that feels so festive! And who doesn't love the decadence of brie at the holidays?!
Just add a glass of champagne and you have a very fancy start to any holiday party!
Sparkling Cranberry Brie Bites
makes about 16
Sugared Cranberries
2 cups fresh cranberries
1 cup good maple syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
Rinse cranberries and place in a medium bowl. Heat syrup in a small sauce pan just until warm. Pour over cranberries when syrup is warm, not hot, or cranberries may pop. Cool, cover, and let soak in the refrigerator overnight.
Drain cranberries in a colander. Place sugar in a large bowl or baking dish. Add cranberries in 2 batches and roll around until lightly coated in sugar. Place on a baking sheet until dry, about 1 hour.
16 crackers
8 oz Brie cheese
cranberry chutney or cranberry relish
fresh mint for garnish
Assemble crackers with one slice of brie, a light layer of cranberry chutney, and 4 or 5 sugared cranberries. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
Looks delicious and festive!
