KID FRIENDLY FONDUE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Bring the apple juice to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Toss the Gruyere and cornstarch in a medium bowl. Add to the simmering juice by the scant handful, whisking constantly until smooth and letting the sauce come to a boil between additions, about 30 seconds. Remove the saucepan from the heat, stir in the Parmesan and mustard and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Pour into a serving bowl, and serve with the dippers of your choice.

Steps:

• Place the oil in a fondue pot or medium saucepan and heat over moderately high heat for about 10 minutes, or until quite hot. (To test: Place a few breadcrumbs into the oil; they'll sizzle if it's hot enough.)
• While the oil is heating, trim any excess fat off the beef and cut into 1-to 1 1/2 inch cubes. Place in a bowl and season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Remove fondue pot from the stove and set it over Sterno or a candle. Spear a piece of meat on a fork or skewer and dip it into the hot oil. (The oil should bubble furiously; if it doesn't, it isn't hot enough. Return the fondue pot to the stove for a few minutes over high heat and try again.) For medium beef, cook about 5 to 8 minutes. When the beef is cooked, remove from hot fork and place on plate to cool. Serve with dipping sauces.
