Party Recipes >> Fondue
A fondue party can create so much fun. It is perfect for teens, small informal dinner parties, and cookouts. All you need is the ingredients and the guests. Allow the guests the fun of preparing their own meal at the table; each diner becomes his own chef.
Be
sure to warn guests that the fondue forks become very hot and advise them
to transfer the cooked food to a dinner fork, dipping into sauces.
In planning a fondue party, give free rein to your imagination. Serve a tossed green salad, crunchy dinner rolls, and a simple dessert of fresh fruit and cheese.
Below are some Fondue recipes we were fond of growing up with. First you need a fondue pot.
For awhile I saw many in the thrift stores, but now Fondue is becoming popular again. So dig your fondue pot out of the attic, for some Fondue party fun.

1 1/4 cup dry white wine
