Cider Cheese Fondue


We had a Girl's Night at our house last night while the men were at Priesthood session of General Conference. I wanted to try something fun to eat, so after looking through several recipes, I decided upon cheese fondue. I found this recipe on allrecipes.com, and it was submitted by Kim Marie Van Rheenen. We have done cheese fondue before, but this recipe is our favorite so far. A lot of fondue recipes call for wine, but this one uses apple cider. We thought the cider added a very nice flavor to the fondue. We had several items to fondue besides the French bread, including peppers, mushrooms, cooked potato, sausage slices, apple chunks, cooked carrot chunks. Very good!



INGREDIENTS:

3/4 C apple cider or apple juice

2 C shredded cheddar cheese

1 C shredded Swiss cheese

1 T cornstarch

1/8 t pepper

dash of salt, as desired

1 loaf French bread, cubed


DIRECTIONS:
1. In a large saucepan, bring cider to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. toss the cheeses with cornstarch and pepper; stir into cider. Cook and stir for 3-4 minutes or until cheese is melted. Transfer to a fondue pot or slow cooker to keep warm.
