Ingredients

1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry, plus extra ¼ sheet for decorating, if desired

125 gram wheel camembert

2 tablespoon sweet fruit chutney

4 dried apricots, sliced

1 tablespoon cranberries

2 cubes crystallised ginger, sliced

1 egg, whisked, for egg wash

fruit and gourmet crackers, to serve

Method

1.Preheat the oven to 190ºC. Lay the sheet of pastry on a lined baking tray and place the Camembert in the centre. Spoon chutney on top of the cheese, then pile on the apricots, cranberries and ginger. Brush the pastry edges with the egg wash, then gather up the opposing corners into a little bundle to enclose the cheese. Use more pastry to make decorative leaves, if desired. Brush all over with the egg wash.

2.Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to set for 15 minutes before serving.

3.Serve warm with fruit and gourmet crackers.
