Cheddar, Crab and Wine Fondue image

This is from my NC Cookbook. Submitted by the Duplin Winery of Duplin County. It is a scrumptious fondue dip. The recipe calls for Duplin County wine (Scuppernong or Riesling), but your favorite white wine will do. Serve using bread cubes or veggies.

Time 10m

Yield 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 ounces crabmeat
20 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white wine
1/8 teaspoon caraway seed

Steps:

  • Drain crabmeat and flake.
  • Mix cheese and flour together.
  • Heat wine until bubbles rise.
  • Over low heat add cheese mixture to the wine, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring in between each addition, till the cheese is melted.
  • Add caraway seeds and crabmeat.
  • Transfer to fondue pot.
  • Last but not least, ENJOY!

Tips:

  • To ensure a smooth and creamy fondue, use high-quality cheese that melts well, such as Gruyère, Emmental, or Cheddar.
  • Grate the cheese yourself instead of using pre-shredded cheese. Freshly grated cheese melts more evenly and smoothly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan or fondue pot to prevent the cheese from burning.
  • Cook the fondue over low heat, stirring constantly, to prevent it from curdling.
  • If the fondue starts to curdle, add a small amount of cornstarch or flour to help thicken it.
  • Serve the fondue immediately with a variety of dipping options, such as bread, vegetables, and seafood.
