Chili Pepper Jack Cheese Fondue Recipes

PEPPER JACK FONDUE

Steps:

• In a cast iron fondue pot bring white wine to a simmer. While wine is simmering toss cornstarch with the shredded cheese.
• Once the wine is simmering mix the cheese in the pot. Once the cheese is semi-melted add 1/3 cup chicken broth. Salt & pepper to taste. Serve with steamed broccoli florets and french bread.

SOUTHWESTERN CHILE-CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• Place garlic and beer in saucepan, and heat over low until simmering.
• Mix cornstarch with water, stirring to make paste, and stir into beer. Increase heat and cook beer until it boils and begins to thicken. Reduce heat to low. Add pumpkin seeds and cook 2 minutes.
• Add cheese and, using generous handfuls at a time, stir into beer until cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat until cheese is gone. Stir in green chiles.
• Transfer cheese mixture to fondue pot or crockpot. Keep fondue warm over alcohol burner or in crockpot over lowest setting. Serve with accompaniments.

COBLY OR MONTERAY JACK FONDUE

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.
