We have been making this recipe for many years and it’s always a hit. It will become one of your favorites and a success among your guests.Tip: make two, one is never enough. If you don’t find plum jam, try blueberry, same great result.

Brie with Plum and Almonds en Crôute

Ingredients

1 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
5 tablespoons butter
4 to 5 tablespoons cold water
1 round brie cheese
1/3 to ½ cup plum or blueberry jam
2 tablespoons honey
¼ cup sliced almonds

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In medium bowl, combine flour and salt. With pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle water over flour mixture and mix with fork until dough holds together. Form dough into ball and place between two pieces of plastic wrap. Flatten ball with rolling pin to an 8” or 9” circle and place on cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil. Place brie in the middle of dough circle. Spoon jam mixed with honey over circle and top with almonds. Fold dough over jam and pinch ends to seal. Sprinkle a few almonds over dough.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until dough is slightly brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve immediately with slices of crusty french bread. Makes one.
Tip: No time? Use store-bought pie crust dough instead of making it.
