FRUIT AND NUT BURGERS

Prepare to be delighted. Ground Beef burgers with walnuts, Granny Smith apples, Brie cheese and blackberry preserves.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)
• 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 Granny Smith apple, cored, cut into 8 rounds
• 4 tablespoons Brie cheese, softened
• 4 teaspoons marionberry or blackberry preserves
• 4 whole-grain artisanal rolls

COOKING:

• Combine Ground Beef, walnuts, salt, pepper, and in a medium bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly.  Lightly shape into four 1/2-inch thick patties.
• Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 8 to 10 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 7 to 9 minutes) until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally. Cook’s Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
• Place two apple rounds on bottom of each roll; top with burger.  Evenly spread cheese and preserves over burgers.  Close sandwiches. Cook’s Tip: Apple rounds may be grilled for 3 to 4 minutes, if desired.
