Swiss Cheese Fondue

New Year's Eve is going to be fondue night at our house from now on:



1 clove garlic
1 cup apple juice
1 lb Swiss cheese, grated
2 tsp corn starch
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dry mustard
dash nutmeg


Rub sides and bottom of medium saucepan with garlic. Add apple juice. Heat over medium to medium high heat until bubbles begin to rise. Don't boil it. Reduce heat to low. Toss cheese with cornstarch. Add cheese mixture to hot apple juice one handful at a time ove low heat until cheese is melted. Stir constantly with a spoon. After the cheese is melted, add other seasonings. Transfer to fondue pot. Enjoy

You can dip breads and cooked meats in this.

Classic Chocolate Fondue

1 cup whipping cream
2 2/3 cup chocolate chips ( the good stuff!)
2 tsp vanilla



In a saucepan, slowly heat whipping cream until bubbles form around the edge. Remove pan from heat; whisk in chocolate chips until mixture is smooth. Stir in vanilla. Transfer to fondue pot and keep warm over low heat.



We have bananas, apples, marshmallows and cinnamon bears.
