You'll Need:

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon rum extract
1/2 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 (8 ounce) round Brie cheese
2 tablespoons chopped pecans
Assorted crackers or ginger snaps

Procedure:

In small bowl, combine brown sugar, rum extract, cranberry sauce and nutmeg. Stir to blend. Scrape or cut off the top rind of the cheese, leaving 1/4-inch edge by scoring or making a circle on the top 1/4-inch from the edge with a small knife. Using a teaspoon, simply scrape off the top of the rind, exposing the cheese. Top Brie with cranberry mixture and sprinkle with pecans. Bake at 500 degrees F for 5 minutes, or until cheese is softened. Using a large spatula, place Brie round on serving plate and surround with assorted crackers. Serves 8.
