This is absolutely the best way to have your brie, warmed up to a spooning stage in the oven! Easy done with ready made cranberry sauce, with little spice added. We had this to finish off a meal, does two courses in one, dessert and cheese. We especially loved it served with thin gingerbread cookies.
