When Apple Valley Sue is invited to events, the hostess requests she bring her spectacular Mile High Brie. You know those requests mean Yummy captalized! Apple Valley Sue was sweet enough to send a copy to me — another great recipe that has become a signature dish!
She says: “here is a great appetizer for parties. It is just 6 ingredients that you throw together on top of a round of brie with a couple of sauces drizzled on top. They are especially a hit at Christmas parties — everyone loves it. I saw Mile High Brie in a showcase last year at one of the grocery stores where they were selling for about $15. You can make them for a lot less! Here’s the ingredients:
- One round of Brie, top rind removed
- Walnuts
- Red Maraschino cherries (or a mix of red and green for Christmas)
- Pecans
- Dried cranberries
- Slivered chocolate
- Caramel sauce
- Chocolate sauce
Put the nuts and fruits on top of the brie and drizzle with the sauces.
Serve with your favorite crackers. Hope you enjoy!”
The photo above is a baby brie, about 7 ounces, That makes about 12 servings, perfect for a small group. It is super spectacular using a larger brie! The quantities given are general, because the amount used will vary according to the size of the brie you choose. Cutting the maraschino cherries in half or in quarters, can make it easier to eat — but Sue liked the bright color of the whole cherry. Since Sue sent it, it has been an annual addition to our New Year’s Eve! Thanks so much, Sue, for sharing!
- A round of brie -- quantities for remaining ingredients will vary with size of brie chosen. This is what I used for a baby brie
- ½ cup English walnuts
- ⅓ cup Maraschino cherries
- ¼ cup Dried cranberries
- ⅓ Pecans
- 2 Tablespoons Chocolate slivers
- 1 tablespoon Chocolate syrup
- 1 tablespoon Caramel syrup
- Remove the top from the round of brie.
- Begin piling next five ingredients on top.
- When you can't add any more, drizzle with chocolate and caramel syrups.
- Serve at room temperature with your favorite mild flavored crackers.
