Fondue is simple, nutritious
Clever hostesses
after-the-game meal
ooking for a hearty
will find fonduing a
simple nutritious solution. Not only is the
preparation easy, fondue parties are by
nature cozy gatherings, conducive to
pleasant conversation.
Fondues are of several varieties. They
may be appetizers, main dishes or
desserts. ' !
F6ndue pots are rriade of either ceramic
material or metal. The specific recipe will
dictate which of the! two should be useaY
For meat dishes, as a1 general rule, metallic
ones should be used, as they can tolerate
the high temperatures needed to cook the
meat. Ceramic ones, Ion the other hand are
best for cheeses and. dessert sauces such
as chocolate because, they maintain a more
constant temperature during serving.
Cheese fondues should be kept hot with
as low a flame as possible to keep them
from becoming tough and stringy. If the
fondue does" become lumpy, or the fat
should begin to separate, return it to a
higher heat. Beat briskly with a wire whisk
or mix two tablespoons of cornstarch with
14 cup wine and stir into fondue. Heat,
stirring constantly juntil the fondue Is
smooth. If the fondue is too thick, it can
be thinned with a small amount of
preheated wine. j
