Raspberry and fig jams provide a sweet and tangy contrast, but apricot or cherry preserves are great alternatives.
- → Are there suitable nut-free options?
Yes, nuts can be omitted or replaced with additional crackers or fresh fruit to accommodate allergies.
- → How should I arrange the fresh fruit and accompaniments?
Arrange berries and grapes around the Brie, cluster crackers to fill spaces, then scatter nuts and chocolate pieces for visual appeal.

Sparking rosé or a light Pinot Noir complement the creamy cheese and sweet jams nicely.
