Submitted by DiLo4602

"This recipe came from a booklet from the Dairy Farmers of Canada. It's easy and impressive. If you don't have Brie cheese on hand, the following may be used for a change of taste: Havarti, Mozzarella. Cheddar or Gouda."

Made your recipe as written & really enjoyed the combo of these berries & the brie, AND the honey cranberries itself is OUTSTANDING! Definitely will be remaking these during the up-coming winter holidays, too ~ Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted orphans in the current Pick A Chef]
