Ingredients

Main:

350g/12oz Round Bergader Cremosissimo/Camembert or Brie
3 Tbsp Cranberry Orange Chutney (from Dical)
2 Tbsp Rinatura Dried Cranberries, roughly chopped and a few whole (from Dical)
2 Tbsp Nick Maple Syrup (from Dical)
2 Tbsp Chopped Pecans, roasted
1 Tbsp 1-2 Water

Garnish:

1 Tsp Orange Zest
Extra Chopped Roasted Pecans
Fresh Rosemary, chopped

Method

Cranberry Orange Chutney Sauce -

In a small saucepan, add the Cranberry Orange Chutney, Dried Cranberries, Roasted Chopped Pecans, Nick's Maple Syrup and 1 or 2 tablespoons water. Bring to boil, stirring continuously then simmer for a few minutes until you achieve a smooth sauce.

Camembert -

Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
Unwrap camembert and place on a sheet of crumbled baking paper on a baking tray.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until melted through. Check after 15 minutes. (To check, gently touch the center of the camembert or brie - it should feel very soft, like it's about to collapse if you press any harder.)
Carefully transfer to a serving plate. Top with warm cranberry orange sauce, orange zest, chopped pecans and fresh rosemary.
Serve immediately with crostini or crackers on the side for scooping. Provide a knife to cut through the rind and a cheese or pate knife to scoop cheese up onto crostini or crackers.
Enjoy!
