Grande Brie cheese with plum-and-pink peppercorn compote

By Abigail Donnelly
4 - 6
5 minutes
30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 x 1 kg Grande Brie
  • For the plum-and-pink peppercorn compote:

  • 120 g sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 t pink peppercorns
  • 1 star anise
  • 1 t cardamom
  • 6 plums, halved

Method

Place all the ingredients for the compote, except the plums, into a saucepan. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, then bring to a boil. Add half the plums and boil for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

After 15 minutes, add the remaining plums and continue cooking for 10 – 15 minutes until thick and sticky.

Cut the cheese into a star shape and serve with the compote.
