Recipe of the Quarter: Fairview Caramelized Brie - Cape Winelands, South Africa

2/18/2011

Fairview in the Cape Winelands - Luxury South African Safaris

 

Fairview is a working wine farm in the Cape Winelands that produces excellent vintages, as well as a wide variety of dairy and goat's milk cheeses. This is one of their signature recipes.

 

 

 

 

Ingredients

  • Fairview Grand Brie or Vintner's Brie (or other high quality brie)
  • Slivered Almonds
  • Finely chopped Walnuts / Pecan nuts
  • Sesame seeds
  • Preserved or glacé figs (chopped)
  • Dried Apricots / Peaches or Berries
  • ¼ cup White Sugar

Method

Brie
  1. Carefully slice the white rind off the top of the Brie and dispose of it
  2. Place the cheese on an serving dish and mark 8 to 10 wedge shapes by scoring the top of the cheese very lightly with a knife
  3. Carefully arrange the different toppings onto each wedge, alternating among them
  4. Gently press the fruit and nuts down into the Brie, cover the cheese with its foil wrapper and refrigerate until ready to serve
Sugar Syrup
  1. Place the sugar in a pot with 1/8 cup of water and gently stir, but do not dissolve the sugar. Place the pot on the stove on a high setting.
  2. Do not stir while boiling, allowing the syrup to turn golden brown - this will only take a few minutes.
  3. Remove the cheese from the fridge a few minutes prior to serving.
  4. Pour the syrup evenly over the cheese and toppings. It should set almost immediately. Slice and serve with Fairview Viognier Special Late Harvest or La Beryl Blanc straw wine.
