We have enjoyed cheese fondue with our Swiss friends on many occasions...and find it is a wonderful camping dish or a treat to enjoy with friends around the table on a winter evening. This is a recipe that came from a 'Taste of Home' collection at one time. Make a meal of it by dipping raw vegetable pieces and cooked chicken strips as well as the usual cubes of bread.
- 3/4 cup apple juice
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1 clove garlic, peeled
- 1 loaf of fresh French bread, cubed
Directions:
- Rub inside of large saucepan with the clove of garlic.
- Bring the apple juice to a boil over medium heat...then reduce to low heat.
- Toss the cheeses with the cornstarch, pepper and nutmeg...stir into the juice.
- Cook and stir constantly for 3-4 minutes...or until cheese is melted.
- Transfer to a fondue pot to keep warm.
- Serve with cubed bread for dipping.
I wanted to do Fondue at Christmas but ran out of time. Thanks for this recipe - can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous Judy!! I love fondue meals...
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to try fondue. It looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteFondue is one of my absolute favorites. I have a few recipes already. This is a nice simple one that I can't wait to try. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a wonderful variation...using the apple juice. I am sure it tastes wonderful!Thnaks for posting this recipe~Ellie
ReplyDeleteThat cheese sauce looks amazing..now all I need is a fondue set.
ReplyDeleteWondering if it would zing up with white wine instead of apple juice? My mom used to buy a packaged fondue mix and that is my flavor standard. I haven't tried a home made version before, so yours will be up for a try. I'll let you know how it goes! (and of course we'll be playing the fondue game too...)
ReplyDeleteI was looking for something new for my fondue pot and here it is! I can't wait to put out for New Year's eve.
