Time 50m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 package (14 oz) precooked cocktail links, drained and patted dry
2 cans (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count)
1 lb sharp Cheddar cheese, grated (6 cups)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1/2 cup stout or beer
6 tablespoons frozen (thawed) apple juice concentrate
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Unroll each can crescent dough into long rectangle. Firmly press perforations to seal. Using a small knife, cut dough into 1-inch by 4-inch strips. (Cut number of strips to match number of cocktails links in package--about 48.)
  • Wrap each cocktail link with 1 dough strip around middle of link. Place on ungreased cookie sheet, seam side down, about 2 inches apart. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
  • In large bowl, toss grated cheese with the flour. In 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, swirl in the olive oil. When shimmering, add the garlic; cook 30 seconds until very fragrant. Add stout, apple juice concentrate, ground mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Heat to a simmer (let simmer 3 minutes if you want alcohol to evaporate) and gradually, in small batches, add cheese, constantly stirring until fondue is smooth, thick and cheese completely melted. If too thick, stir in an additional oz of stout until desired consistency.
  • Serve fondue immediately with pigs in the blanket.

Provided by Amy Thielen

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pint cherry tomatoes
8 ounces slab bacon, cubed
1 large Vidalia onion, cubed
1/2 loaf ciabatta bread (about 8 ounces), cubed
Olive oil, for tossing with skewer ingredients
Salt
Lots of freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces aged Cheddar
6 teaspoons cornstarch
10 ounces Gruyere
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons sherry wine
Pinch of nutmeg

Steps:

  • Heat a grill on medium-high heat.
  • Toss the cherry tomatoes, slab bacon, onions and bread cubes separately with a bit of oil, salt and pepper, and thread them on their own skewers so that they can cook at their own rate. You will have multiple skewers of each.
  • Grill the skewers over medium-high heat until lightly charred; keep warm while you make the fondue.
  • Shred the Cheddar and toss with 2 teaspoons of the cornstarch. Separately, shred the Gruyere and toss with the remaining 4 teaspoons cornstarch.
  • In a medium heatproof saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat. (You can easily cook this over a campfire or on a camp grill as well.) When the butter melts, add the garlic and let it sizzle for 30 seconds. Add the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the Gruyere and whisk until smooth. Add the Cheddar and whisk until smooth and no lumps of cheese remain. Heat until the cheese bubbles slightly at the edges. Remove from the heat and stir in the sherry, lots of black pepper and the nutmeg.
  • Serve with the skewers of tomatoes, onions, bacon and bread for dipping.
