Cedar Plank Brie With Raspberry, Almond, & Honey Topping

Cedar Plank Brie With Raspberry, Almond, and Honey Topping
Our daughter Barbara emailed a recipe that she found on a website,  Just remember to make certain that the cedar plank you use is produced to be used with food and not chemically treated.
Ingredients:
6" x 16" cedar plank
1 pint fresh raspberries
2 Tablespoons slivered almonds
1 Tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
Coarse ground black pepper, to taste
4 Tablespoons honey
2 whole small wheels Brie, Camembert or Cambozola cheese
1 - 2 fresh baguettes
***
Directions: 
Soak plank in cold water, at least one hour. Preheat grill to medium heat, about 400 degrees. 
In a small bowl combine, raspberries, slivered almonds, and fresh thyme, season with coarse ground black pepper. Drizzle with honey and gently mix to combine. 
Remove plank from water, place wheels of cheese, evenly spaced. Top each wheel with raspberry mixture. 
Place plank on grill for 20 to 25 minutes until each cheese is golden brown and slightly puffy, topping is hot, and almonds are slightly golden brown. 
Remove from grill, cool 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately with sliced baguettes and a few spoons and plenty of napkins. Serves 8 to 12 as a party appetizer
