Here's what you'll need...

You'll Need:

For the Sugared Cranberries – ⅛ cup water – ¼ cup, plus ⅛ cup granulated sugar – 2 ounces fresh cranberries For the Baked Brie – 4 mini brie bites (from Trader Joe's) – 1 teaspoon honey – ½ teaspoon dried thyme

You'll Need:

For the Cheese Board – 12 flatbread crackers – 16 artisan cranberry crisps – 2 ounces (½ ounce/cheese plate) goat milk cheese cubed – 2 ounces (½ ounce/cheese plate) fontina cheese cut in wedge – 12 thinly sliced spicy dry salami – pomegranate broken into small chunks –20 cornichons – 20 dark chocolate almonds

Sugared Cranberries:

To a small saucepan, combine water and ¼ cup sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat until the sugar is fully dissolved in the water. Remove from heat.

Sugared Cranberries:

Set up a wire rack with a piece of parchment paper underneath. Add cranberries to the simple syrup mixture. Toss cranberries around, making sure each cranberry is fully coated. Using a slotted spoon, transfer cranberries to a wire rack and allow them to dry for 20 - 30 minutes. 

Sugared Cranberries:

Pour remaining ⅛ cup of sugar onto a plate. Gently roll cranberries in the sugar until all sides are fully coated.

Baked Brie:

Heat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Along the top of the brie, cut a third of the way down in a crosshatch pattern (about 3 cuts each way).

Baked Brie:

Drizzle ¼ teaspoon of honey, along with ⅛ teaspoon dried thyme over each brie bite. Cook for 5 minutes until brie is melted on the inside (you can test by gently touching the center of the brie and seeing if it gives).

Cheese Board:

Arrange everything on 4 small serving plates or boards. Serve immediately.
