I'm a rather lazy cook - i like shortcuts . So I make cheese fondue using a jar of nacho cheese sauce - actually for 4 people it takes 2 jars - then cut up bread for dipping in the fondue.Serve with a fruity white wine. I do a similar thing with Smuckers hot fudge sauce , for topping ice cream - and cut up pound cake or fruit to dip in it. Gosh i haven't done this in ages - thanks for reminding me.

Love fondue. Current fave is:

2 roasted red bell peppers

12 oz. fontina cheese

1 cup dry white wine

1/2 cup half and half

2 T flour

2 T chopped fresh basil

Pinch of cayenne

1. Puree bell peppers in a food processor

2. Whisk remaining ingredients together in fondue pot; heat over medium-low until the cheese has melted and the fondue has just thickened, about 10 min. Whisk continuously. It looks stringy at first but becomes smooth and creamy.

3. Whisk in the red pepper puree and serve on lowest heat setting with ciabatta cubes, flatbread crackers, cherry tomatoes, fennel or zucchini spears.

This is from a wonderful book, "Not Your Mother's Fondue," by Hallie Harron. Highly recommend this book--it contains a full range of fondue types.

This sounds very good. Thanks for posting! I'll also have to check that book out.

Love fondue dinners.....I do beef fondue with dips. Buy good piece of sirloin and cut into cubes.....cook in peanut oil. Fix dips (will post if interested).....fix salad....slice French bread....serve wine.....very relaxing dinner. Can start with cheese fondue and end with chocolate.
