Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh or dried cranberries
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped gingerroot
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • Vegetable oil
  • 1 round Brie cheese (8 ounces)
  • Slivered almonds, toasted, if desired
  • Crackers, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Mix cranberries, sugar, vinegar, water, gingerroot, cinnamon and cloves in 1-quart saucepan. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered about 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened. Cool slightly. (Chutney will thicken as it stands.)
  • 2
    Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly brush ovenproof plate with vegetable oil. Place unpeeled cheese on center of plate. Bake uncovered 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is soft and partially melted.
  • 3
    Spoon half of the chutney over cheese. Sprinkle with almonds. Serve with crackers. Spoon remaining chutney onto cheese as needed, or save for future use.

  • To save time, purchase prepared chutney in the gourmet section of your supermarket.
  • Spoon the cranberry chutney over a block of cream cheese and serve with crackers for another delicious and easy appetizer idea.
