"I prefer this recipe with lingonberries as opposed to cranberries now, but it's good either way. My husband's Aunt makes this every Thanksgiving."

I served this at a little Happy Hour I hosted and it was gone in minutes. We loved the combination of the brown sugar, rum and cranberry mixture over the brie cheese. This is a winner and I cant' wait to make it again. Thanks so much for sharing, TigerJo.

Forgot to add the nuts and added a touch more cranberry as I had an 11 oz. brie instead of an 8. Must have done something right as there wasn't a scrap left. ;) Thanks for a great fall recipe.
