Mix strawberries in a medium-sized bowl with white sugar & lemon juice; set aside for up to 3 hours, stirring every 30 mins.
In a cast iron pan over medium-high heat, dissolve brown sugar & apple cider vinegar; stir with a wooden spoon.
Add jalapeƱos, red onion, ginger, cardamom, and cloves. Stir constantly for 5-6 minutes or until onions start browning.
Add strawberry mixture (including juice); reduce heat to medium or medium-low, depending on your burner. Add a pinch (or more!) of red pepper flakes (to add extra heat, if desired)
Stir frequently for 10 minutes or until mixture becomes thick enough to coat a spoon.
Meanwhile, scrape off the top rind only of the brie, place in Brie Baker & bake uncovered for 15-17 minutes.
Remove from heat & carefully remove cardamom pods and cloves.
Serve spicy strawberry chutney spooned over top of cooked brie with crostini.
Notes
Notes : The chutney is spicier without the Brie accompaniment. Also delicious cold with goat cheese on rosemary crackers.
