- Pinch of salt
- 1 large round brie or camembert
- Crackers/cheese straws for serving

1. Sauce: Add all ingredients to a pot and bring to the boil, stir every so often, so that the sugar melts. When the sauce has slightly reduced and is syrupy, take off to cool.
2. Preheat the oven to 180’C. Remove the top of the rind from the cheese using a serrated knife and discard the rind. Place cheese in a shallow ovenproof serving bowl that is bigger than the cheese. Bake for 10 minutes. Top with some of the chunky sauce and put back in the oven for 5 Minutes.
3. Sprinkle the top with chopped nuts (optional) and zest before serving with crackers/cheese straws. Put any extra sauce into a bowl and serve as a conserve with the cheese and fresh strawberries to garnish.
Tip! This recipe is also fantastic done with additional pears added to the clementines.
