     Title: Camembert In A Box W/ Cranberry Black Pepper Compote
Categories: Cheese, Relishes
  Servings: 4

  1 1/2 c  fresh cranberries
    1/3 c  sugar
    1/2 c  port
    1/8 ts salt
    1/8 ts pepper
      8 oz round Camembert cheese, in
           its box
           Sliced baguette or wheat
           crackers for serving

For the compote, mix the cranberries, 1/4 cup water and the sugar,
port, salt, and pepper in medium pan. Bring to a boil over medium
heat. Turn heat down and simmer til skins of the cranberries pop, 6
to 8 minutes. Let cool then transfer compote to serving bowl. YOu
can make this up to 1 week in advance and keep it covered in
refrigerator. Serve it chilled or at room temperature.

For the cheese, remove lid of the Camembert box and discard any
paper wrapping around the cheese. Tie a ribbon or kitchen twine
around the circumference of the box to keep it intact while cooking.
Put the box on a plate and microwave the cheese for 60 seconds. It
may puff up. If it doesn't seem soft and melty, microwave it for 30
more seconds. Remove the box from the microwave and use a sharp
knife to cut three slits through the top rind of the cheese,
intersecting at the center, like an asterisk. Peel back the petals
of rind to expose the cheese underneath. Serve with sliced baguette,
the compote and any other accompaniments you like.

This is a great dish if you like contrasting flavors and textures.
The tart cranberries and creamy Camembert make an unforgettable
pairing. It's also pretty on a buffet and incredibly easy (really!).
Serve it with cornichons, pickled onions, pear slices, dried fruits
and nuts or any combination thereof.
