Last week, I had the opportunity to visit Wente Vineyards in Livermore, CA. (Scroll down to see some pictures from this journey.) It was a turning point for me as I have officially been posting gluten free recipes for my blog for almost two years now.
We are all about appetizers here at Fearless Dining. If you have a party coming up, you will want to check out all of my delicious gluten free appetizers.
To celebrate, I wanted to create something delicious to go with Wente Vineyards Riva Ranch Chardonnay. Something fruity and sweet to play off the wine’s subtle flavors of apple and pear. This is one of my favorite California Chardonnays. This is one of my favorite brie recipes, and it is so easy to make.
You’re going to love how easy this cheese appetizer is to prepare. I used a mango fruit spread. I love this because it has chunks of fruit. (You can use any flavor, strawberry, blueberry, etc.) Don’t use jelly, as that will not be the same.
Ingredient Notes:
For the full list of ingredients and amounts, please go to the recipe card below.
- Brie – You can use cow or goat milk brie. I like to use a round-shaped wheel, but a triangular wedge of brie is also acceptable.
- Mango Jam – If you can’t find mango, apricot jam tastes delicious!
- Pecans – These are optional. If you are nut-free, omit the nuts.

Step 1: Simmer the mango fruit spread with raw pecan pieces for 8 minutes.
Step 2: Spoon the mango pecan mixture onto a round of Brie cheese. (I like my brie cold for this, so it is easy to cut.
If you love melty brie, feel free to bake the brie for 10 minutes at 350º F before topping with the fruit.) There are so many great things to use for brie toppings!

I truly hope you enjoy this recipe. I have been testing and creating gluten-free recipes for over 15 years. Creating gluten-free recipes that do not taste gluten-free is my goal for every recipe. Sometimes I only have to test a new recipe a couple of times, and others it takes multiple times. I do this so you get reliable, delicious results every time!
