How to Make Fondue
Recipes for a Fondue Party

You are here:
Old Recipes Home >> Holiday Recipes >> 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.

Fondue potBe 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.

Cheese Fondue - Makes 4 cups

1 1/4 cup dry white wine
1 clove of garlic chopped
8 ounces of Swiss Cheese, cut into pieces
1/4 cup flour
2 10 ounce cans condensed Cheddar Cheese soup.
French bread or whole wheat bread, cubed.

Heat wine and garlic in a saucepan or fondue pot till simmering. Combine cheese and flour. Gradually blend into wine. Heat until cheese is melted, stirring occasionally. Blend in soup. Heat, stirring until smooth. Dip bread into fondue.
