You can make this a day ahead and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving.

This is a great recipe! I used dried cranberries (a little over 1/2 cup), and it turned out delicious. Took these appetizers to a party and got rave reviews!! I'll be making this again.

This was so yummy. I did it a bit different. I made the topping and then put it on top of Brie and served it with crackers.
