Instructions
Balsamic Fig Jam/Preserves
Wash figs
Add figs, honey, sugar, and balsamic vinegar to stock pot
Cook covered on medium low for about an hour (until all the fruit has broken down)
Stir occasionally
Remove preserves from heat
Add chia seeds
Allow preserves to cool and thicken
Add preserves to jars and refrigerate or freeze
Baked Brie
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
Place Brie on baking sheet lined with parchment
Allow to come to room temp while oven is preheating
When oven is ready, bake the brie for 8-10 minutes
Check the brie at 8 minutes. If more time is needed add 2 more minutes and check again
Top brie with preserves and serve
I prefer my preserves to be a little warm so I warm them a little in a small stockpot prior to topping the brie
Serve with grapes, gluten free pita chips, or anything else you would like
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Line a baking dish/sheet with parchment paper
Bake Brie for 8-10 minutes (be sure not to overcook, we want the shape to remain intact)
Meanwhile, warm the preserves
Remove brie from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes
Top with preserves
Serve!
