Brûléed Persimmon and Brie

A cheeseboard is a perfect start to any gathering. Try a straightforward approach to your board with a single round of brie served with a variety of crackers and sliced apples. Sweet fruits and jams are a lovely compliment to the creaminess of Brie. Be sure to take advantage of using persimmon while it’s in season (October-January) for your holiday boards. Basic no fuss preparation makes a big impact with this recipe.
