Chutney & Brie NYE App
Need something quick and easy for a NYE party? We’ve always loved the flavors of chutneys – they taste fancy without a lot of effort. Take this app and serve with Carr’s crackers.
Ingredients:
- 1 (8-ounce) round Brie or Camembert Cheese
- 1/2 cup mango or cranberry chutney
- 2 tablespoons dried currants
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place cheese on cookie sheet and set aside.
In small heavy saucepan, combine chutney and currants. In small bowl, combine cornstarch, curry powder, and water and blend well until smooth. Stir into chutney mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Set aside to cool while Brie is baking.
Bake cheese for 10-15 minutes or until softened. Remove to serving plate and top with chutney mixture. Serve with toasted baguette slices, crackers, and pear slices.
