Sweet and Smoky Party Brie

• 34 cup fresh raspberries or 34 cup frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed & drained
• 12 cup chopped roasted red pepper (from the jar is fine)
• 2 jalapenos, seeded and minced
• 2 tablespoons red onions, finely minced
• 14 cup seeded and crushed tomatoes
• 2 teaspoons fresh cilantro, minced
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 12 teaspoon dried ancho chile powder
• 2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar or 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 18 teaspoon salt
• 2 lbs brie cheese, wheel or wedge,at room temperature
• 1 (6 ounce) bag honey-roasted almonds, chopped

1. Combine all the salsa ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer together over medium low heat, stirring gently, for only 3 to 5 minutes to incorporate the flavors, then remove and chill for at least 90 minutes (you can make this the day before, as well).
2. Use a sharp knife to skim and remove the soft white layer from the top of the brie.
3. Place brie on a microwave-safe serving dish and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on the power of your appliance, to soften the cheese (be careful- you don't want it to be runny).
4. Pour the chilled raspberry salsa over the entire top, letting it run down the sides.
5. Sprinkle the chopped honey roasted almonds over the top, serve with crackers or bread rounds, and enjoy!
