  • Stir together cranberry sauce and next 3 ingredients; spread mixture evenly over top of Brie. Sprinkle evenly with pecans.

  • Bake Brie at 500° for 5 minutes. Serve with assorted crackers and apple and pear slices.

  • *2 tablespoons orange juice may be substituted for spiced rum.

Chef's Notes

If you can't find a 16-ounce round of Brie, you can use a slightly larger round or  2 (8-ounce) rounds.  If you want a little bit less of the cranberry sauce mixture, use a 14-ounce can and it will be plenty.
