Yield Makes about 16 bites

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups fresh cranberries
1 cup good maple syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
16 water crackers (such as Carr's)
8 ounces brie cheese
1/2 cup cranberry chutney or cranberry relish
Fresh mint, for garnish

Steps:

  • Rinse the cranberries and place in a medium bowl. Heat the syrup in a small saucepan until just warm. Pour over the cranberries. (Make sure the syrup is warm, not hot, or the cranberries may pop.) Gently stir with a spoon to coat all the berries. Cool, cover, and let soak in the refrigerator overnight.
  • The next day drain the cranberries in a colander. Place the sugar in a large bowl or baking dish. Add half of the cranberries and roll them around until lightly coated in sugar; repeat with the other half. Place on a baking sheet and let dry, about 1 hour.
  • To assemble, top the crackers with one slice of Brie, a light layer of cranberry chutney, and four or five sugared cranberries. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs.

This recipe is so easy to make. I can have these bites ready in under 30 minutes. They're also a great way to use up leftover cranberry sauce. I'll definitely be making these again.

I made a sweet and savory version of this recipe by adding a little bit of brown sugar to the cranberry sauce. It turned out great! The bites were the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I loved it!

I added a little bit of cayenne pepper to the cranberry sauce for a spicy kick. It turned out great! The bites were still sweet and tangy, but they also had a little bit of heat. I loved it!

I made a vegetarian version of this recipe by using vegan brie. The bites were still delicious, and they were just as easy to make as the traditional version. I also added some chopped roasted red peppers for extra flavor.

I made these bites gluten-free by using gluten-free crescent roll dough. They turned out great! The bites were just as delicious as the traditional version, and they were just as easy to make.

I made a healthier version of this recipe by using whole wheat crescent roll dough and low-fat brie. They were still delicious, but they were also a bit lighter. I also added some chopped walnuts for extra crunch.

I love cranberries, so I was excited to try this recipe. The bites were delicious! The cranberries were tart and tangy, and the brie was creamy and smooth. The crescent roll dough added a nice buttery flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.

Brie is my favorite cheese, so I was excited to try this recipe. I wasn't disappointed! The sparkling cranberries added a nice tartness that balanced out the richness of the brie. I'll definitely be making these again for my next cheeseboard party.
