Ingredients

Healthy Cranberry Sauce

1 cup fresh cranberries
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons apple juice
2 tablespoons red wine
Pinch each of: ground allspice, ground clove, and ground ginger

Brie Toasts

10 slices of baguette
1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
Pinch each of: garlic powder, poultry seasoning, and fine sea salt
3 to 4 ounces Brie sliced into small pieces to fit your toasts

Instructions

Healthy Cranberry Sauce

Add all sauce ingredients, except the pinches of seasonings, to a medium saucepan. Heat over medium high and bring to a boil. As the cranberries begin to burst, stir often. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until thickened and jam-like. Stir in the allspice, clove, and ginger. Set aside to cool.

Brie Toasts

Preheat the oven broiler to High.
Place the baguette slices on a small sheet pan and broil on each side for 60 to 90 seconds, until barely golden brown. Stir the garlic powder, poultry seasoning and salt into the melted butter. Remove the toasts from the oven brush the top of each with the butter.
Place a piece of Brie on each toast. Return to the broiler for about 60 seconds, until the cheese begins to melt. Remove from the oven and top each with a generous teaspoon of the cranberry sauce. Garnish with mint leaves. Serve warm or at room temperature.
