Wine Fondue Food

WINE FONDUE

Steps:

• Pour wine into a saucepan, and season with cinnamon stick, coriander, pepper, cloves, sugar, salt, celery salt, and garlic salt. Let sit for 1 hour, then bring to a boil. Filter through a fine sieve or colander lined with cheesecloth, and transfer to the fondue pan. Bring to a boil before using.

EASY HOMEMADE CHEESE AND WINE FONDUE RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat the white wine in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Slowly add remaining ingredients, stirring to melt the cheese.
• When cheese is melted and all ingredients are combined, transfer to a fondue pot if you have one. If you don't have a fondue pot, a crockpot set on low can keep your fondue warm, or, use a cast iron skillet which will stay hot, and warn your guests not to touch the hot pan.
• Serve and enjoy!

• Notes and Tips for a great fondue party:.
• Make sure that all meats and vegetables are chopped thin enough to cook quickly in the broth. For beef and chicken, I suggest no more than a centimeter in width and leave in broth for approximately 3 minutes. For fish, choose fillets that have more integrity such as salmon or tuna and slice pieces no larger than 1/4 an inch and leave in broth for approximately 4 minutes. Shrimp are great dippers as they only require shelling and deveining, but no pre-cutting.
• Any and all veggies are great in this broth. Like with the meat, it needs to be chopped thinly. I recommend precooking many veggies before using them as dippers. Many veggies are too hard in their raw form to cook in a timely manner in the broth. The easiest way to do this is to bring a pot of water to a boil. Add a generous amount of salt to the water. Add veggies and cook for 3-8 minutes depending on toughness of veggies. Transfer veggies to ice water and hold for 2-5 minutes. This partially cooks veggies, so they only need 3 minutes in the broth.
• If you are using meat dippers, I highly recommend putting them in the broth first, as they add flavor to the broth which will enhance the flavor of your veggies later.
• Also if you are including mushrooms as a dipper (which I highly recommend!) treat them like a meat. Do not precook them like other veggies, as the water they release during cooking will add flavor to the broth. I suggest that you add mushrooms early with the meats and allow them to cook for about 7 minutes. Mushrooms take longer, but if you are doing meats and veggies, they will be ready to eat about the same time as the veggies, and they are definitely worth waiting for.
• Above all, enjoy yourself, and have fun with your fondue!

SWISS FONDUE

Steps:

• Combine Gruyère cheese, Emmental cheese, and cornstarch in a bowl. Mix until the cheese is evenly coated. Set aside.
• Rub the cut side of the garlic all over the inside of a fondue pot or heavy saucepan. Add wine and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then gradually add cheese and cornstarch mixture. Stir with a spatula, gently stirring in a figure-of-eight motion, until all of the cheese is added and the fondue is smooth and homogenous. Reduce heat to medium-low if the fondue is boiling too vigorously.
• Immediately serve fondue, preferably over a warmer. If you used a saucepan on the stove to heat the fondue, you can carefully transfer the fondue to a fondue pot to serve.
