Blue Brie (Baked Brie With Blueberries)
"I like having a baked brie at parties, always nice to find a new way to do it. This came via a demo table at my local grocery store a few years back. Dried blueberries can be quite expensive, I wonder if you could just dry your own in the oven. They should be easy enough to find in the bulk section and they do 'make' the dish so you can't leave them out. Nice for a special occassion (when calories don't count!). Serve with a selection of crackers or sliced baguette."

Am I able to use fresh blueberries instead of dried for this baked Brie, pecan, and blueberry recipe? This is my first time making this recipe, but it looks so good. Thank you.

This was wonderful! I used frozen blueberries but otherwise kept to the recipe. I found the brie wasn't very attractive after it come out of the oven (the colour from the blueberries altered the brie), however it was fabulous and my mothers day guest all enjoyed it. Thank you for posting your recipe magpie diner -
This was fabulous! Made it for a party last weekend and we devoured the whole thing. Will make this again and again and again!
