Warmed Brie with Pickled Blueberries

While I called this 'warmed brie with pickled blueberries', the latter is really the only recipe part. For the warmed brie, simply place your round on a baking sheet and heat in a 200 degree F oven until it's softened. Serve with baguette slices.


I have been pickling blueberries for years. I love that it's unexpected and a delightful mix of sweet and sour! So, for an upcoming blogging event, I decided to do a quick pickle to use on warmed brie. Oh, my stars...this was heavenly!


Ingredients
  • 1/2 organic red onion, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer)
  • 1 C apple cider vinegar
  • 2 T organic granulated sugar
  • 1 t sea salt
  • 1 t yellow mustard seeds
  • 1 t dill seeds
  • 1 pint organic blueberries
  • also needed: mason jar with lid
Procedure

Place blueberries and sliced red onions in a medium mixing bowl. In a medium saucepan place the vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil and swirl until the sugar and salt have dissolved completely.

Place mustard seeds and dill seeds in the bottom of your mason jar. Scoop the blueberries and onions into the jar and gently press down to compress.  Pour the hot brine over the blueberries until they are completely submerged and cover with lid. 


Invert the jar a few times to move the spiced around. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight before using.


Serve with warmed brie on a slice of baguette for a delicious sweet and savory treat.

    I have never paired brie with blueberries but it sure looks to be popular so I will have to make a point of it.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
