Ingredients




1/2 pound brie, with rind
1/2 cup mixed nuts (pecans, walnuts, pine nuts), crushed
1/8 cup heavy cream
1/2 pint blackberries
1 1/2 cups red wine (Merlot was on deck!)
1/4 cup sugar
Crackers

Preparation

1 In a wide sauce pan, mix berries with wine and 1/4 cup sugar.  Stir well and simmer on low until sauce thickens, approximately 15-20 minutes.  As berries begin to break down, smush them a bit and gradually add a bit more sugar if preferred. 2 Once berries have cooked down, allow to cool.  Once cooled, pour into a food processor and blend until smooth.  Pour berry mixture through a sieve and place in a separate container. 3 Brush cream on sides of brie and press into crushed nuts.  Sides should be completely covered. 4 In a baking dish, warm brie in a preheated oven at 350 degrees until soft, approximately 5 minutes.* 5 Top with blackberry sauce and serve with crackers.  Sprinkle with extra nuts if desired. 6 Wait until you plan to serve cheese before heating it.
