Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
In a large saucepan, combine cranberries, orange, peel, sugar and water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for ten minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Lightly grease the center of a baking sheet where you are going to place your brie bundle. This will ensure that it doesn't stick when removing it from the pan.
Unroll phyllo sheets and cover with a towel as it dries out quickly. Take one sheet and lay it on the counter. Brush with melted butter. Repeat this six times.
Place brie in the center of the phyllo sheets. Scoop ¼ to ⅓ cup of cranberry compote on top of brie. Sprinkle pecans on top of cranberry compote.
Gently pull the phyllo layers up and around the brie as if wrapping a gift. Give the top a squeeze to secure and trim any excess. You can fuss with the dough to fan it out to make it look more decorative.
Gently brush a little butter around the whole package. Bake in a 350º oven for 25 minutes. Serve while hot.

I used Stonewall Kitchen's Garlic Onion Jam instead of the cranberry filling
