2/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup water

With a sharp knife, carefully slice off the top rind of the cheese.

In a saucepan, combine the sugar, water and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce to half. Add the pecans and cream. Simmer until slightly thickened.

Place the cheese on a plate and while the pecan mixture is still hot, pour over the cheese and let sit 5 minutes. Surround with the sliced French bread.
