Jalapeno Jelly Baked Brie With Pecans Recipes

BAKED BRIE WITH SWEET PEPPER JELLY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove top rind of cheese; leave rind on sides and bottom. Place brie cut side up in brie baker; top with pepper jelly.
• Place brie baker in center of hot oven for 15 minutes. DO NOT place lid on baker while in oven.
• Remove from oven and place brie baker cover on top to keep brie warm and soft until ready to serve.

3 MINUTE MELTY FESTIVE BRIE (SPEED BAKED BRIE)

Steps:

• Unwrap brie and place on a small microwave-proof plate with a rim (so maple syrup doesn't go everywhere).
• Microwave on high for 1 minute 15 seconds, or until the brie is very soft when you prod the centre. Watch the brie as you microwave it - if it starts to puff up too much (i.e. risk of bursting), turn microwave off and leave brie inside - residual heat will continue to melt it.
• Top with pecans, pomegranate seeds and maple syrup. Serve immediately with crackers of choice (choose ones suitable for scooping). I serve this with a spoon and/or small pate knife.

BAKED BRIE WITH PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cheese on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until softened, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate; cool about 20 minutes.
• While cheese cools, place nuts on a clean baking sheet; bake until toasted and fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle nuts over cheese.
• In a small saucepan, combine sugar and maple syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat; simmer until foamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle warm sauce over slightly cooled cheese and nuts; serve with crackers or baguette.

JALAPENO JELLY

Steps:

• Combine the green bell pepper and 12 jalapeno peppers in the container of a food processor or blender. Process until finely chopped. This can be done in batches, if the peppers do not fit.
• Transfer the peppers to a large saucepan, and stir in the cider vinegar. Bring to a boil, and let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain the mixture through at least 2 layers of cheesecloth, and discard pulp. You should have about 1 cup of liquid.
• Return the liquid to the saucepan, and stir in the salt and sugar until dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the mixture comes to a rolling boil (one that cannot be stirred down), boil for one minute, then stir in the liquid pectin.
• Stir in the remaining jalapeno peppers, and ladle into sterile jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Seal jars in a hot water bath. Refrigerate jelly after seal is broken.

JALAPENO BAKED BRIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F Cut away rind from Brie.
• Remove crescent roll dough from tubes and place on a floured surface; knead all the dough together and roll or press into a thin circle large enough to encase the cheese.
• Move the dough to an ungreased baking sheet.
• Place the Brie in the center of the dough.
• Use a fork to poke the top of the cheese several times.
• Pour half of the hot sauce on the cheese, spreading it around with a spoon; let it sit a minute or two so the sauce can sink inches Spread the rest of the sauce on the cheese- it's ok if some dribbles down the sides.
• Fold the dough up over the top of the cheese and pull it shut with your fingers.
• Brush the edges of the dough with the egg to help seal.
• Bake for about 10 minutes or as the dough package directs; or until browned.
• Don't overbake or the cheese will run out.
• Remove from pan to a serving dish and serve hot.
