Colby Cheese Fondue Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In a large sauce pan, over medium heat, melt butter.
• 2. Add flour; cook and stir until bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.
• 3. Stir in chicken broth and cream.
• 4. Cook over medium heat until thickened.
• 5. Add cheeses, about 1 cup at a time, stirring or whisking constantly until melted and blended.
• 6. Cook for a few minutes until slightly thickened. You may need to add more cheeses to reach the desired consistency.
• 7. Stir in lemon juice until smooth.
• 8. Pour into heated fondue pot set over a candle or sterno.
• 9. Serve with bread sticks and fresh vegetables, boiled or baked cubed potatoes or cubed toasted bread for dipping.

Steps:

• Combine cheese and cornstarch in a bag. Shake to make sure cheese is coated with cornstarch.
• Rub inside of pot with garlic clove cut in half. Discard garlic.
• Note: When choosing your wine you may choose a color or flavor other than what is listed here. Sherry is good for appetizer fondue; Champagne, Nechatel or Fendant de Sion are good for either appetizers or the main course; and Rhine, Moselle, Chablis, Sauterne are best for main dishes.
• Pour in wine and lemon juice. Warm until bubbles rise to the surface. Do not cover or boil.
• Remember to stir constantly from now one. Add a handful of cheeses, keeping the heat medium (do not boil), when melted add another handful. After all the cheese is melted and bubbling add a dash of nutmeg and pepper. Transfer to fondue pot and keep warm over fondue burner.
• Note: If fondue becomes too thick add a bit of warmed wine. If it separates combine 1 T cornstarch and 2 T wine and stir into fondue.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, toss cheeses and cornstarch until cheese is coated.
• Rub garlic on bottom and side of fondue pot, heavy 1-quart saucepan or skillet; discard garlic. Add wine. Heat over simmer setting or low heat just until bubbles rise to surface (do not boil).
• Gradually add cheese mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, stirring constantly with wooden spoon over low heat, until melted. (Stir gently. Vigorous stirring may cause the Swiss cheese to become stringy.) Stir in sherry, ginger and pepper sauce.
• Keep warm over simmer setting. If prepared in saucepan or skillet, pour into a fondue pot or heatproof serving bowl and keep warm over low heat.
• Spear bread with fondue forks; dip and swirl in fondue with stirring motion. If fondue becomes too thick, stir in small amount of heated wine.

Steps:

• Pour the wine and lemon juice into a heavy-based pan over a medium-low heat and warm until steaming. Add all of the cheese, a handful at a time, whisking between each addition until all the cheese has been added. Continue to stir for 4-5 mins until everything is fully melted, smooth and creamy. Mix the cornflour with the kirsch in a small bowl, then stir this into the cheese mixture. Continue to cook over a low heat for a minute more.
• Rub the garlic on the inside of the fondue pot, if you like, then carefully pour the cheese mixture into the pot and immediately place it over the flame. (If you don't have a fondue set, add the garlic along with the wine in step one, then remove and discard it before you add the kirsch mixture.) Serve immediately with crusty bread, boiled new potatoes, vegetable crudités or cornichons for dunking, if you like. You can place the fondue back over a low heat if you need to reheat it after serving.

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.

Steps:

• Rub cut side of garlic on inside of large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed saucepan, preferably cast iron, rubbing the bottom and halfway up the sides. Add wine and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss cheeses with cornstarch. Add a handful at a time to simmering wine, stirring until first handful melts before adding next. Reduce heat to medium and stir constantly until cheese is completely melted. Add kirsch, if using, and heat until bubbling, about 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg, if desired. Serve with crusty bread and other accompaniments. (See variations below)

Steps:
