Warm Brie with Ginger-Citrus Glaze

1 (8-oz.) Brie round
1/4 cup ginger preserves*
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Assorted crackers, fresh fruit

1. Preheat oven to 400°. Trim and discard rind from top of Brie. Place Brie on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until cheese is just melted.
2. Meanwhile, microwave ginger preserves and next 6 ingredients in a small microwave-safe glass bowl at HIGH 30 seconds; stir until blended and smooth. Microwave at HIGH 1 minute. Let stand while cheese bakes.
3. Transfer Brie to a serving dish; drizzle warm glaze immediately over Brie. Serve with assorted crackers and fresh fruit.

*1/4 cup fig preserves may be substituted.
Note: For testing purposes only, we used Dundee Ginger Preserve.
Party Tip: Place the Brie directly on an oven-safe serving plate, and bake as directed. The hot plate will keep the cheese warm and gooey longer.

Serves: 8
