  1. 1Sorrel jam instructions
  2. 2Combine sugar, sorrel, lemon zest, water in a medium sized pot.
  3. 3Bring to a boil as petal becomes soft
  4. 4Reduce heat, and cook until thickened.
  5. 5Let it rest before using on brie
  6. 6Baked brie instructions
  7. 7You can slice the brie in half to create a sandwich-like effect. Or you can leave the brie wheel intact and just trim the top rind of the wheel.
  8. 8Add a generous portion of jam to the top of the wheel, or one side of the sandwich
  9. 9Roll dough out with a rolling pin on a floured surface
  10. 10Trim excess dough. You can also use it to decorate .
  11. 11Wrap the pastry up around the sides and over the top of cheese wheel, wrapping completely and pressing the edges of dough together to form a tightly sealed package.
  12. 12Carefully flip the dough-wrapped cheese over, so that the gathered dough is on the bottom.Place the package, seam side down, on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
  13. 13The brie can be prepared up to this point and refrigerated for 2 days before baking.
  14. 14Be sure to bring the brie to room temperature before baking.
  15. 15Preheat the oven to 400° F.
  16. 16Combine the egg and water and brush the mixture over the top and sides of the pastry.
  17. 17Add design from leftover dough if you'd like, and brush with egg mixture
  18. 18You can use leftover sorrel pulp from your juice to make the jam. It will be a little less acidic and the color will be a brighter red instead of darker red.
  19. 19Make my jam a day ahead, so I don’t feel rushed and the jam will have time to settle.
  20. 20Add the jam to the center of the brie by slicing the brie in half and having the jam as a filler.
  21. 21Next time, I’ll use a larger pot, so that I don’t need to add water frequently to tenderize the sorrel.
