Specialty Recipe

Deep Fried Won Ton Brie
With Fresh Pineapple Marmalade

Ingredients for Pineapple Marmalade

2 cups chopped pineapple (fresh or canned)

1 cup granulated sugar

Pinch of hot chili pepper flakes (optional)

In a heavy saucepan, combine pineapple with sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil and then simmer uncovered until it thickens to a syrupy consistency, stirring occasionally. (About 45 minutes for fresh pineapples or less if you're using canned pineapple).

Makes 2 cups.

Ingredients for Deep Fried Won Ton Brie

Won Ton wrappers

Brie cheese

Oil for deep frying

Take a won ton wrapper and brush with egg white. Place a cube of brie in the middle. (If desired, add a sprinkle of chopped macadamia nuts). Press the cheese down while gathering up the won ton wrapper to make a little purse, and pinch the wrapper together just above the cheese to seal. The won ton wrapper should fan out a little at the top.

In a deep heavy pot or wok, heat oil to 350 degrees. Deep fry purses to a golden brown for about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve with warm pineapple marmalade.
