½cupdried golden figsroughly chopped
The juice and zest from one medium navel orange
½cupwater
¼cuppure maple syrupGrade B
One7 ounce wedge of brie

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, figs, orange juice and zest, water, and maple syrup. Heat over medium-high until the mixture starts to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until most of the cranberries have burst and the mixture is thick and syrupy. This should take 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 350.
Slice the brie wedge into 45 small cubes (about ½'' squares). You may trim the rind off beforehand if desired; although it is edible!
Place the 45 fillo shells on a baking sheet (you do not need to thaw them). Add a square of brie to each shell. Place one teaspoon of the cranberry fig mixture on top of each shell. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the shell is crispy. Serve hot!
Leftover tartlets can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated at 350 for 5 minutes.
Leftover cranberry fig compote can be frozen or stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve over pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, or on a cheese plate.
