From "Fondue: Great Food To Dip, Dunk, Savor, and Swirl", by Rick Rodgers. My husband makes this and I make the wheat-free bread and we also dip red and green apples. Other dippers could be boneless cooked chicken cubes, cooked garlic sausage or knockwurst, boiled new potatoes, blanched asparagus, broccoli, or cauliflower.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a heavy-bottomed pot or fondue pot. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the cheese from burning.
  • Grate the cheese yourself instead of using pre-shredded cheese. This will help to ensure that the cheese melts smoothly and evenly.
  • Use a dry white wine for the fondue. Avoid using a sweet wine, as this can make the fondue too sweet.
  • Add the cheese to the pot a little at a time, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the cheese from curdling.
  • Keep the fondue on low heat and stir it constantly. This will help to prevent the cheese from burning.
