Cheese Fondue Recipe

[mirasprofile]

We can't use wine( religious reasons) but would love to do cheese fondue. What can you use instead of wine,maybe apple juice ?

[holidaykitchen]

@mirasprofile In cooking, the alcohol burns off leaving just the "grape" flavor so we suggest using a white grape juice. We have never tried apple juice but it does sound good! If you try it, please let us know how it tasted!

[Stertje1979]

@mirasprofile you can use bouillion!! ♥

[MsEmzRox]

con you use any chesse?

[matsuchan92]

this reminds me of mushroom cheese soup of vono! hmm

[minesdecarli]

which kind o fwhite wine should we use?

[TheElkCloner]

anytime i try to make cheese it sticks to the pot and leaves permanent burnt cheese on it, even when i spray it with pam. Any suggestions?

[holidaykitchen]

@TheElkCloner A cheese fondue mixture should be held at a temperature warm enough to keep the fondue smooth and liquid but not so hot as to allow any burning. If this temperature is held until the fondue is finished there will be a thin crust of toasted (not burnt) cheese at the bottom of the caquelon. This is called la religieuse (French for the nun). It has the texture of a thin cracker and is almost always lifted out and eaten.

[holidaykitchen]

@TheElkCloner If you are using a can of Sterno as the heat source, fully opened, the fire is too hot. Cover half of the exposed burning surface with the metal lid. This will cut the flame by half.

[archana1578]

can any white vine can be used or only dry white vine ?

[holidaykitchen]

@archana1578 Any will do. Dry is the traditional. A sweeter wine will make a sweeter fondue!

[arisingartist]

can you use any cheese you want for this...? I mean do they all melt together in to a smooth sauce?

[holidaykitchen]

@arisingartist Soft and semi soft cheeses like mozzarella don't work. They become stringy. Use semi-hard cheeses with the texture of swiss for the best results. Most grocery stores carry both Gruyere and Emmenthal (swiss).

[levilisko]

Lord!!! what is the size of one table spoon in america? i think i just found out why the obesity rates are growing !!!

[levilisko]

you just have to say that's not the same foundue they make in swiss... no need to start a war over it, if someone makes it this way and likes it this way, it's their problem...

[YoureAlwaysRight]

Looks delicious!!

[pomchipz]

In swiss supermarkets you can buy convenient industial produced fondue. Open the package, put the content in a pan and heat the cheese up. Many people in Switzerland eat this and that's why they don't know that lemon juice is a important ingredient. :-) they haven't made a self-made cheese fondue yet...

[pomchipz]

I'm swiss and I can tell you that this are quite good instruction to make a cheese fondue. Don't care about the original ingredients. There are at least 10 different classic Swiss Fondues and nobody knows, which is the original one. Emmental surely is one of the classic cheeses used for this. If you can't get any swiss cheese just try other kinds of cheese which are similar.

[qwaqy]

@davehernandez Swiss are not friendly to Foreigners ?? Are the mexican more friendly than us , not possible :-)

[alt4960]

Sorry  - Appenzeller

[alt4960]

We also have used Appellation.

[Nipisful]

why the lemon?i assure you fondue does not have lemon!

[yo100ish]

i tried to go to your channel but my computer had a seisuer

[alt4960]

Absolutely! However I am sure you can find both Swiss Cheese (Emmenthaler) and Gruyere in the super market. Ordinary 'swiss' will work just fine.

[monanico]

im here in the phil. we dont have these kinds of cheese-can i use ordinary cheese instead

[MsMadmax1]

Yes, this is what the Americans know as fondue. If youwant us to make it correctly, you better get over here to the state, open up a restaurant and show us how its done because the likelihood of the average American traveling to Switzerland is highly unlikely. Vacherin cheese is not readily available to all Americans so we have to use what we have.

[alt4960]

By crushing the garlic you release the oils. This is the best method.

[jastat]

that's a lot of cheese

[shootforlife21]

make a recipe of chocolate fondue. that is so good!

[kaufmann6988]

Lemon juice is a "trick" if the cheese fails to bind to the wine. Don't use it if you don't need to. If you use a "dry" and "sour" wine, this shouldn't be necssasary. Emmentaler cheese is used in some regions in Switzerland. The Gruyere and Vacherin combination is my favorite (do NOT use the french Vacherin chesse !!! It is not the same as the swiss Vacherin Fribourgeois !!!)

[PALU3K]

flour and lemon juice?? holy vacherin-cheese! that's maybe a classic american fondue but surely not a swiss!

ihr händ soöppis vo käi ahnig!!! XD

[bigbird584]

You are right !

"Cheese fondue", origin is Fribourg.

Why need to use another cantonal (prefecture) cheese ?

J'adore lait creu Vacherin !

Excellant ! !

[TheVittleVlog]

Nice job!

[Jesnoe57]

I fully agree with you... They can also keep the vegetables. Nothing like dried meat from "Grisons" and pickles if anything extra is needed! :))

[Jesnoe57]

Lemon juice???? You must be kidding!!!!!! A food processor??? Vegetables on the side?? We usually have it "plain" or with dried meat of Grisons and pickles. That is definitely the American way! LOL

[neukertification]

@davehernandez what does that have to do with fondue? Swiss are not friendly to foreigners?

[Jesnoe57]

@davehernandez You may disagree with me on fondue, but who cares? Feel free to add whatever your heart desires and call it a "fondue" if you want. Though German is not my first language, I can tell your use of it is quite good for a beginner, but some improvement is still needed. Dear Dave, there's unfriendly people anywhere you go, maybe you should stop overgeneralizing; people like you are the ones that don't make the world go round. No juzges a quien no conozcas. Una Suiza muy simpática ;)

[poik89]

can i use mozza and gruyere? and can you do this with a non stick sauce pan?

[holidaykitchen]

@poik89 Mozzarella wont work because it is too stringy and will create a large lump in your pot!

[fl4v1u5]

It's definitely not a traditional swiss fondue, just the thought of using a food processor (or for that matter suggesting its use) makes it lose its authenticity. But that's not what people are looking for anyway when they make it at home, without the proper "tools".

A mix of Emmental and Gruyere is just one of many recipes, specific to a certain region only. What I don't understand is the lemon juice, it is obviously just an adaption.

[Dubella456]

What is the second cheese

[CHOLITABELLA1]

THE INGREDIENTS WRITE IT.

[pharkothedarko]

cheese, wine, flour, lemon juice, garlic and a shot of kirsch

[nana0701]

if i dun want to use keish n wain... wat should i substitute with?

[pharkothedarko]

i think u could but this would taste horrible. don't be afraid to use wine because of the cooking the alcohol itself will evaporate and only the taste remains in the fondue.

[nana0701]

can i use chicken broth rather than wine/alcohol

[Todaylight]

@nana0701 Instead of wine you can use apple cidre without alcohol.

[AF117]

This is definitely not a fondue !

Forget this crap !

[Phuman]

yuuummm how many people will that serve?

[el3m3ntsk8er]

fondue stube in chicago, check it out

[TheChangeling9]

use appenzeller cheese instead of gruyere

[Himbeertoni90]

hmmm, hätt au wider emol luscht uf fondue... mache mer leider nur im winter :(

[GabyLilith]

I am sorry, I am from anorther country and couldn't understand one of the ingredients.

After the white wine you add one tablespoon of...?

[qwaqy]

Kirsch = cherry Alcool.

[pabunny71]

yummie

that looks so good !!
