Apple-shallot-cheddar Fondue Recipe

Apple-shallot-cheddar Fondue

From hythlae 14 years ago

This is a wonderful fondue for autumn and other cool winter months. Goes great with soup and salad for a full, fresh meal.

1tb butter shopping list
1 shallot, diced shopping list
1/2 c. Granny Smith apple, diced shopping list
2c. hard cider (Woodchuck Grammy Smith works best) shopping list
3 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese (more or less for desired thickness) shopping list
1tb. corn starch shopping list
2 cubed apples (for dipping) tossed in lemon juice or soda water shopping list
2 cubed loaves french baguette or other crusty bread (for dipping) shopping list
Fondue pot (I use a Cuisinart one, ca. $25) shopping list

Melt the butter in a fondue pot (Cusinart setting 2 1/2)
Brown the shallots and diced apples in the butter (setting 3 1/2)
Add the cider and bring to a boil (setting 4)
Meanwhile, mix shredded cheese with corn starch to coat evenly.
Add cheese mixture to boiling cider one cup at a time.
Stir constantly to melt the cheese evenly.
Add cheese and simmer until fondue reaches desired texture (smooth but not too thick). See Photo
Bring temperature down so that fondue does not bubble but stays warm (setting 2)
Use toasting forks or fondue skewers to dip bread and apple cubes in fondue. See Photo
Serve with soup and salad, or go all out with a course of cheese fondue followed by meat fondue and then chocolate fondue.

Simmer fondue until thickened. Close
