Last night my husband and I went to my youngest son's house to have dinner with his wife and baby. We had a Fondue Dinner! It was delicious and fun! It brought back memories of fondue parties when we were younger and more of a trend than they seem to be now. And then I remembered that we are going on vacation with some friends this summer to their timeshare and the last time we got together we talked about doing a fondue night for dinner there as well! So, since I came home with some leftover dippers, I decided that it is the perfect time to give a few fondue recipes a try! First of all, I decided to start with something that I could make with what I already had in my house. I looked at a bunch of cheese fondue variations and then I made up my own concoction with what I found and I've gotta say that it tastes pretty amazing! Here is what I found and why I used it:
Last night, I left my fondue pot (similar at this link) at my son's house so that they could finish off the fondue, so today I am making my fondue in my crock pot. You can use either/or, but this recipe does serve about 10 people, so you could make it in the crock pot and then transfer it half at a time to your fondue pot for a party. I did have trouble getting my fondue to become smooth with all of the liquid mixed in. It still tasted great and no one seemed to mind. But, I need to practice my technique better. I used the cornstarch and the lemon juice, but rather than mix my cornstarch into the liquid, next time I am going to try tossing it with the cheese. Here are a few other tips that I've read that I will try next time:
If you try any of these ideas and have great success, or if you have any better tips, please let me know in the comments! I don't want to serve my friends separated cheese fondue! Here is my recipe. The flavor is terrific! The recipe card includes a list of dipper ideas. Click on it for a printable version. Recipes on my list to try! Now, here is a list of recipes for fondue that I am going to give a try before I decide what to make on our trip with friends this summer:
And for Dessert...
Here is a list of dessert fondue dippers:
I can hardly wait to continue on this fondue adventure! The melty cheese for dinner, the ooey gooey chocolate dessert. Did I mention that the chicken and sausage that my DIL had as dippers for our Sunday Night Fondue Dinner were so perfect in her cheese fondue. I can't believe that I haven't been eating this stuff more often! If you have a recipe that you love, please send me the link along with your best fondue party tips!
