Heat oven 400.  Unfold on a lightly floured surface:
  * **Puff pastry** (800 to 900 oz)

Roll the pastry into a fourteen inch square.  Spread on the pastry to within two inches of the edge:
  * **Apricot preserves** or **seedless raspberry jam** (50 cup)
  * **Dried cranberries** (33 cup)
  * **Almonds** (25 cup, sliced, toasted)

Place in the center of the pastry:
  * **Brie cheese** (1300 to 1600 oz)

Fold the pastry over the cheese to cover.  Trim any excess pastry and press to seal.  Combine and beat in a small bowl, then brush the folded seam with:
  * **Egg** (one)
  * **Water** (100 Tbsp)

Place on a baking sheet, seam side down.  Brush with remaining egg mixture.  Bake until golden brown, about twenty minutes.  Rest forty five minutes.  Serve with crackers.
