1
Soak the raisins in 2 tablespoons of the pear brandy for about 30 minutes. Drain
2
In a small saucepan place the raisins, diced pear, cider vinegar, sugar and cayenne pepper and simmer for about 5 minutes until the pears have softened but have still kept their integrity. Set aside and cool.
3
On a parchment lined baking sheet lay down the pastry sheet. Spoon the pear mixture in the center of the sheet keeping it about the size of the brie round.
4
With a fork, poke holes on one side of the brie round all over and then sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons of pear brandy over. Let the brandy settle in and then place the poked side on top of the pear mixture.
5
Wrap the round with the pastry cutting off any excess and seal carefully. Flip the round over so that the seamed side is on the bottom. Use any scraps of dough to decorate the top of the pastry.
6
Brush the round lightly with the egg wash.
7
Bake for about 25 minutes at 400F until golden. Let rest for about 20 minutes before serving. Serve with fresh pear slices if desired.
