CHERRY BAKED BRIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Make cherry compote: In a small saucepan over high heat, combine cherries with sugar, lemon juice, and water. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar, then immediately reduce heat to low. Add cornstarch and simmer until cherries are tender and sauce is thickened, stirring occasionally, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Place Brie into a baking dish and top with cherry compote. Bake until cheese is warm and melty, about 15 minutes.
• Serve warm with graham crackers.
