Ingredients
Directions
- In a small pot over medium heat add cranberries and water. Stirring constantly and mashing with a fork, simmer until most of the cranberries are broken up, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, cinnamon and salt. Stir constantly until desired consistency is achieved, approximately 1 minute. Remember mixture will thicken as it cools.
- To warm brie place in the microwave or oven until the inside is soft, approximately 40 seconds for the microwave or 5-8 minutes in a 350° F oven.
- Pour compote mixture over brie and garnish with sliced almonds.
- Serve with your favourite crackers and enjoy.
Variations
- You can use several other types of nuts or a combination if you so dare instead of the almonds. Try pecans, walnuts or cashews.
- For added sweetness and flavour you could add 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries in with step two.
