Cedar Planked Brie Cheese
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Saut the jalapeo and shallots in the butter for 1 to 2 minutes, until tender. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add the raspberry jam and wine, stirring until jam has melted and liquid is combined. Remove from heat and very gently fold in the green onions and berries. Set aside to cool completely.
Evenly space the Brie wheels on the pre-soaked plank. Spoon the berry mixture over the top of the two wheels of cheese, being sure to load it on.
Preheat the barbecue to medium-high (450F/230C).
Place the planked Brie on the preheated barbecue and close the lid. Bake for 5 minutes. You want the wood to get hot and start to crackle. If the wood catches fire, use a spray bottle of water to put out the flames.
Carefully open lid and check the cheese. It is ready when the sides are bulging and it is becoming golden brown. Take care not to leave it until the cheese bursts, or the liquid insides will run out, off the plank, and into the fire.
Remove planked cheese from the barbecue. Serve with slices of fresh baguette and/or crackers and plenty of napkins.
