Sweet Jalapeno Habanero Pepper Jelly and Walnut Brie

Posted by Eva Smith in Food, Recipes | 2 comments

 

Brie is one of the most delicious gourmet cheeses.  You can eat it plain at room temperature with fresh bread and also add it to  cheese plate to provide multiple options when entertaining.   Every year during the Thanksgiving Holiday I bake brie with nuts, jelly and a hint of pepper.

 

You can make the pepper jelly yourself or purchase it at a local market.   I recommend buying the Brie at a market with gourmet cheeses  or a store that specializes in Wine and Cheeses.  I also recommend you bake the Brie on a baking stone for best results.

I have developed several Baked Brie recipes over the years, but by far this recipe is always a crowd favorite.    This is a great recipe to bring everyone into a room or introduce guests at a gathering.   It is the perfect conversation starter and also very easy to prepare.  I recommend preparing the recipe in advance and baking it about 15 minutes before serving.
