Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) packed brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) finely diced Ontario Shallots
  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) cider vinegar
  • 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) finely grated fresh gingerroot
  • 3 whole cloves
  • 1 cup (250 mL) Ontario Blueberries
  • 1 round 4-inch (10 cm) Ontario Brie Cheese
  • Crackers or sliced baguette

Instructions
 

  • In small saucepan, combine sugar, shallots, vinegar, ginger and cloves; bring to simmer over medium heat, stirring until reduced and syrupy, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Discard cloves. Stir in blueberries. Transfer to medium glass bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to use or up to 1 day.
  • Place soaked cedar plank on preheated grill over medium-high heat. Cover and grill until plank starts to smoke and crackle, turning once, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Place cheese on plank, close lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Grill for 5 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Top with half of the blueberry chutney; close lid and grill until a little puffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully remove plank with cheese from grill. Let cool 2 minutes. Place planked cheese on platter. Serve with remaining blueberry chutney and crackers.
