Peanut Fruit Fondue Recipes

FRUIT FONDUES

Steps:

• In a saucepan, stir caramel sauce until heated. In a large glass measuring cup, microwave chocolate chunks until almost completely melted, then stir. Using skewers, dip fruit into sauces.

FRUIT FONDUE

Steps:

• Puree the berries in a blender or food processor. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the liqueur or water. Place the pureed berries and the cornstarch mixture in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly and the milky color has disappeared. Pour into a serving bowl or fondue pot. Serve with fondue forks or metal or wooden skewers so that diners can dip their choice of fruit or cake into the sauce.

FAST AND HEALTHY FRUIT FONDUE

Steps:

• Put the cocoa powder and the sugar together in a small saucepan, and then whisk in the water. Heat the mixture on medium heat, stirring, until it is smooth and comes to a simmer.
• Stir in the dissolved cornstarch and continue cooking until the syrup thickens a bit. Take off the heat and add the vanilla. Note: The cornstarch thickens the sauce and makes it more 'dippable', but you can leave it out if you like, for a thinner sauce. Let the syrup cool before using. You can store it for quite a while in the fridge.
• For the fruit skewers, wash the fruit and peel, if necessary. Slice the bananas and kiwi. Cut larger fruit like melon and pineapple into chunks, and leave berries whole. Thread the fruit onto bamboo skewers. If you are serving to small children, snip off the pointed ends after you have assembled them.
• If you would like to freeze the fruit, assemble the skewers and then place them on a baking sheet. Set the whole pan into the freezer and freeze until firm, this will take several hours. Remove the skewers shortly before serving. Note: For freezing use berries, grapes, banana and kiwi.

HOW TO FONDUE WITH OIL

Steps:

• Place your electric fondue pot on the dinner table where it will be served. Add oil to our fondue pot, being sure not to fill it pass the max fill line. Secure the electric cord so no one trips over it!
• Plug the pot in and turn the pot to 375°F.
• Meanwhile, add the raw meats and frozen items to individual bowls.
• When the oil is hot, begin cooking food in the pot. Allow each guest (up to 5) to add one raw item to their colored fondue fork directly from the serving bowl and set in the pot. (Do not have guests transfer raw meat to their dinner plates.)
• Each dinner guest can keep an eye on their own food as it cooks, paying attention to what color fondue forks they have. Don't allow too many foods in the oil at one time or it will bring the temperature of the oil down too low. When their food is done, carefully place it on their dinner plate and enjoy with dips or sauces.

PEANUT BUTTER FONDUE

Steps:

• Melt peanut butter, butter, sugar, salt, and milk over low heat, stirring often, or in Crock-Pot Little Dipper or fondue pot.
• Stir until mixture is smooth and caramel colored, adding more milk as needed to reach a smooth dipping consistency.
• If desired, add chocolate sauce and stir well.
• Continue heating until warmed through.
• Serve plain peanut butter fondue with toast and jam sandwiches as dippers; chocolate-peanut butter fondue is perfect for a variety of fruits as well as ice-cream, cake cubes, etc.
• My sweetie and I eat the first half of this plain, with toast and jam, then add only 1/4 cup chocolate sauce to the remainder for our dessert.
• Make this vegan by using margarine, soy milk, and vegan chocolate!
