Brie cheese is placed on puff pastry and topped with Tomato Jam to make this quick, easy and sophisticated bite-sized appetizer.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 pound Brie cheese, chilled, rind removed and cut into 30 cubes
  • 1 cup Tomato Jam, recipe below
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

  • 1 (28 ounce) can Redpack® Whole Peeled Plum Tomatoes 28 oz, undrained and chopped

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

Step one

Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Step two

Unfold the pastry sheet on a floured surface. Roll the pastry into a 12 inch square. Cut into 36 (2-inch) squares Bring opposite points of each square together and pinch to form a pocket. Transfer each to prepared cookie sheet.

Step three

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Insert 2 brie cubes, one on each end, while pastry is still warm so cheese will melt. Allow to cool and then top each pastry with a couple teaspoons of tomato jam. Serve immediately.

Step four

Combine all ingredients in a heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often.

Step five

Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture has consistency of thick jam (when you scrape the bottom of the pan with a spoon, the line should hold and not run back into itself), about 2 hours. Taste and adjust seasoning, then cool and refrigerate until ready to use.; This jam will keep in refrigerator for about 2 weeks.

Step six

Option: To preserve, put jam in canning jar, with lid and ring; place in hot water bath for 15 minutes or heat mixture to boiling, put in mason jars and seal with lid and tightly turned ring. Turn upside down and allow to cool. Can be divided into smaller jars to give as gifts.
