Ingredients


For the Cranberry Sauce

  • 1 cup Fresh cranberries
  • 1/2 cup Florida Crystals® Regenerative Organic Raw Cane Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Freshly grated orange zest
  • 1/8 teaspoon allspice

For the Bites

  • 1/2 cup Pecans
  • 1/4 cup Florida Crystals® Regenerative Organic Powdered Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Water
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 30 Mini phyllo dough shells, store bought
  • 1 (8 oz) wheel Brie cheese
  • Fresh rosemary, as garnish

Instructions

Step 1

Place the cranberries, raw cane sugar, orange juice, orange zest, and allspice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, bring to a boil. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and cool completely.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line one baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, water, salt, and fresh rosemary. Add the pecans to the sugar mixture and stir until nuts are evenly coated. Transfer the pecans to the prepared baking sheet and arrange in an even layer. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the pecans are crusty on top and caramelized and golden on the bottom.

Cool then remove pecans from the parchment, breaking apart any clumps.



Assemble the Bites

Step 3

Cut brie cheese in small pieces. Place a small piece of cheese inside a mini phyllo dough shell. Top with cranberry sauce and one candied pecan. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the bites on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from the oven and decorate with a sprig of rosemary.
