Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium heat until golden and crispy, 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to cool, then finely chop.
Step 2
• In a small bowl, combine bacon, pecans, cranberries, apricots, rosemary, vinegar, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
Step 3
• Remove the brie from its packaging. Trim the top rind, leaving a 0.5 cm border around the edges. (Use a sharp knife and cut at a slight angle.) Discard the trimmed rind. Place the brie in a small baking dish. Spoon some of the prepared mixture on top, and scatter the rest around the cheese. Cover the dish with foil and bake until the cheese is warm and gooey, 30-35 minutes.
Step 4
• Serve with bread, crackers and apple and/or pear slices.
