Ingredients
3/4 cup fresh cranberries
1/4 cup cranberry juice
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 pack crescent rolls
4 ounces sliced Brie

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 F.

In a small saucepan, bring cranberry juice to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in honey, mix, and then stir in cranberries and orange juice. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until liquid reduces and a jam forms.

On a lined baking sheet, line crescent rolls in a ring, with the wide ends overlapping and the narrow ends facing outwards.

Spoon cranberry mixture over the wide ends of the crescent rolls. Next, add brie slices on top of cranberries. Fold the narrow ends of the crescent roll over and tuck under the wide end of the roll.

Bake at 375 F for 20 minutes or until rolls are golden brown.
