Do you think I could make this in a 3 - 4 qt. crockpot and double it? Do you think it would still turn out fine? Any thoughts as to what I should bring to serve it with besides crackers, or will that just be good.

Is all brie created equal? How do you know you have good brie? Because I don't think it was the topping, I think it was the brie. And I have had brie before, but I have never bought and used it. Will definitely try again. Maybe I will go with trader's joe's brie. I think I will also cut all the rind off.chickadee3357https://www.blogger.com/profile/07026108059766556417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-51081353940098457062010-10-13T01:21:03.290-07:002010-10-13T01:21:03.290-07:00Oh My Goodness this sounds fantastic!!!

I tweaked your recipe a little, swapping dried cranberries for the apricots, skipping the sugar, and eyeballing the topping. I used a much lower ratio of topping to cheese also -- I probably used about as much fruit and nuts as you did, but I used four wedges of cheese, entirely filling the bottom of my 7 quart crock pot.
