Zesty Habanero Honey Fondue

This Valentine's Day, we're presenting a unique fondue recipe for groups that includes our Honey Habanero White Balsamic from the 'Spice Things Up' Collection. If you want to kick it up a notch, this vibrant combination is ideal for all heat-seekers. Our Honey Habanero White Balsamic brings a wonderful sweet-heat flavor, while the cheese gives it a rich, creamy texture.

Ingredients: 

1 garlic clove, peeled 

3/4 cup white wine 

1/4 cup Habanero Honey White Balsamic Vinegar 

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1lb. Swiss cheese, grated 

1/2 lb. gruyere, grated 

1 1/4 tablespoons cornstarch 

Pinch of Pepe e Aglio 

Assorted fondue dippers; summer sausage, blanched new potatoes, blanched carrots, blanched snap peas, cherry tomatoes, toasted bread cubes, etc… 

Instructions 

Rub the inside of your fondue pot or large, heavy-duty saucepan with the garlic clove, remove and discard. Add wine, vinegar, and lemon juice to the pot and bring to a low simmer over medium-low heat. In a large bowl, combine cheese with cornstarch, and toss to coat. Once the liquid has begun to simmer, add the cheese mixture, one handful at a time, waiting until the first handful has melted before adding another and whisking, pretty consistently, until combined. Once combined and melted, keep the fondue warm while serving, and season with a pinch of Pepe e Aglio seasoning. Serve fondue with assorted dippers (summer sausage, blanched new potatoes, blanched carrots, blanched snap peas, cherry tomatoes, toasted bread cubes, etc.)
