I'm a huge fan of cranberries and find the thought of serving their preserves over warm Brie utterly divine. I'll be trying that this upcoming holiday season. Chef Aimee - How lucky your grandparents had a fig tree in their yard! I bet you have fond memories associated with figs :) Grace - I agree with the puff pastry addition. There was a print ad this past holiday season featuring a big slab of Brie wrapped up in puff pastry with a bow. To say it looked appetizing is the understatement of the year! Deana - Thanks! I know Chloe (her photos) is going to love hearing your positive feedback. Lydia – The cranberry version sound delightful.

Here in New England, there are lots of homemade cranberries preserves at the farm stands, and combining cranberry with basil (red and green) on a baked brie is a typical holiday dish in these parts.

While it's not the most gorgeous appetizer to look at, it is a tasty combination of flavors that I believe you'd both appreciate: http://inncuisine.com/happy-hour-specialities/fabulousity-defined-appetizer-recipe-fig-apricot-and-walnut-tapenade-served-atop-fresh-goat-cheese/ Thanks for stopping by! Val - This is precisely why Chloe submitted her fig preserves recipe last year when figs were in season and more widely available. Luckily, fig preserves are available year-round at your local grocer. That said, I agree with you whole heartedly, can't wait till fresh figs are available again locally! Gera - Thank you.

I'll be saving this idea for a time when fresh figs are available here. I'd love to make my own fig preserves. This time of year I make an apricot-fig tapenade using dried fruit to serve over creamy brie. Such beautiful photos. I’ll be saving this idea for a time when fresh figs are available here.
