Kid Friendly Fondue Regards Tasty Recipes

KIDS CAN MAKE: CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• Bring the apple juice to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Toss the Gruyere and cornstarch in a medium bowl. Add to the simmering juice by the scant handful, whisking constantly until smooth and letting the sauce come to a boil between additions, about 30 seconds. Remove the saucepan from the heat, stir in the Parmesan and mustard and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Pour into a serving bowl, and serve with the dippers of your choice.

KID FRIENDLY FONDUE-REGARDS, --TASTY--

Steps:

• Heat the milk and the garlic in a saucepan over medium-low heat until simmering, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Toss the cheese and flour together in a bowl until the shreds are nicely floured.
• Whisk the cheese mixture into the milk a handful at a time, waiting until each handful melts before adding more. Whisk until cheese is completely melted and mixture is smooth and velvety.
• Holding the food with *fingers, a fondue fork or a regular fork, dip one or several of the options into the pot and swirl to coat with the cheese.
• I added a light sprinkle of dried parsley to the top of the fondue.
• WARNING!: [[[*Careful! Don't want the children to burn their fingers!]]]. Preparing and serving the fondue requires adult supervision.
• Note: servings are estimated.
