This has a been a hit every time I have served it. Is a great appetizer for the holidays or when figs are in season. Ingredients:
1/2 cup brown sugar |
2 tablespoons water |
6 fresh figs, stemmed and quartered |
1 (14 ounce) round 4 1/4-inch diameter round brie cheese |
1/2 cup toasted almonds |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 C).
2. Heat brown sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat until sugar is completely dissolved. Add figs and vanilla, and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in almonds and vanilla. Place brie wheel in a baking dish, and pour fig mixture over the top.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until softened but not melted. Serve with water crackers.
