Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 wheel of brie
1 cup cranberry relish (Ocean Spray for ease)
1 splash of brandy
¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
2 tbsp light brown sugar
1 to 2 tsp orange zest
1 tsp ground cinnamon, ½ tsp ground allspice, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400º and line a baking sheet or an oven-safe baking dish with a sheet of parchment paper; set aside. Add cranberry relish to a medium bowl with the sugar, orange zest, cinnamon, vanilla, allspice, brandy and stir to combine; set aside. Note – you will not use all of the sauce for this recipe and will have some leftover for another use. Next, carve the top layer of the brie round to about an ⅛ of an inch in depth. Evenly top with about ½ cup of the cranberry relish, leaving a ½ inch bare margin around the perimeter. Bake for about 7 to 10 minutes, or until fruit is warmed and cheese has softened but hasn’t turned into a gooey mess and collapses. Because all ovens, equipment, ingredients, etc. vary, watch closely and check early because there can be quite a bit of variance in the baking time. Garnish with rosemary and serve immediately with crackers, bread, crudités, etc. This appetizer is well received by those who enjoy a warm and gooey treat before dinner.

This picture of my father was from his early days in the Navy. He was a hospital corpsman (which meant he did his basic training with the Marines). His hair was almost black!
