1wheelBrie cheese4 to 6 inches (10 to 15cm) in diameter
To Serve
1packetcrackers or slices of fresh bread, to serve
Equipment
1 cedar plank or available wooden cheese plank, unsoaked
Directions
Cranberry Chutney
Place the cranberries, BBQ sauce and maple syrup in a sauté pan over medium heat on your gas stove, grill side-burner, or even on the grill, then cook stirring often.
Once the cranberries begin to soften, press them with the back of a spoon. Once most of the berries have burst, 10 to 20 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool. Spoon the thickened chutney into an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
Smoked Brie
Prepare your grill for direct grilling, medium-high heat. When the grill is hot, rinse the plank under cold running water and place it on the grate.
Close the lid and allow the plank to heat for 4 or 5 minutes or until it starts to crackle. Reduce the heat to medium-low and place the cheese on the plank, and then close the lid and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, possibly longer.
Open the lid and scoop a generous portion of cranberry chutney onto the warming cheese, close the lid and cook until the cheese is puffing out but not burst.
To Serve
Transfer the cheese on the plank to a serving plate, and serve immediately with crackers or fresh bread.
