Very easy but impressive appetizer, but be careful to follow the amounts of spices as stated and not to be generous. I did and had to make the cranberry mix again, I put in too much mustard and cloves, they were overpowering and the mustard made it bitter. I used a mild brie but think next time will use a stronger and more mature brie.

This is something I had made frequently during the holidays but somehow lost the recipe - I'm so glad to have come across this recipe again because it is always a sucess! I'm planning a Christmas Party in a few weeks and this is on the menu - I will most likely serve this with fresh French Bread warm from the oven. Mmmm I can't wait! I'm going to try and reserve some time to photograph this for you before the party begins! Thanks for posting :)

I have been making this for nearly 30 years - always a hit! I believe I got it from Bon Appetit magazine. As someone else said, 1/8 teaspoon for each of the spices is plenty. Sometimes I omit currants if I don't have them on hand and it doesn't seem to make a difference. Follow everything else to a T.
