(*This post was sponsored by Wente Vineyards. All opinions are my own.)

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.

A bottle of Wente Riva Ranch Chardonnay with two wine glasses full of wine.

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 are going to love how easy this cheese appetizer is to make. 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.

I hope you love baked brie with jam as much as we do. If you love cheese appetizers, you will want to try this easy Hot Cream Cheese Dip, too!

Ingredient notes:

  • Brie – You can use cow or goat milk brie. I like to use a round-shaped wheel, but a triangle wedge of brie is also acceptable to use.
  • Mango jam – If you can’t find mango, apricot jam tastes delicious!

Step-by-step directions:

Mango jam and pecans cooking in a pan.

Step 1: Simmer the mango fruit spread with raw pecan pieces for 8 minutes.

Spooning the mango sauce on top of the brie cheese.

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!
