CHEESE FONDUE MELTING POT CHEDDAR WITH BEER RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:
- If you are using an electric fondue pot, turn it onto medium; otherwise use a double boiler to heat up this mixture. Place beer, garlic, dry mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in the pot and combine well. Shred or cube the cheeses and toss with flour, coating the cheese well. (The flour will help thicken the sauce.) When the beer mixture is warm, add one-third of the cheese and whisk very well. Once the cheese has been incorporated well, add half of the remaining cheese and whisk in very well. Add the remaining cheese and whisk until nice and smooth. Cooks notes: If you do not wish to make this with beer, I cannot give you a suggestion for the beer other than a product like O'Doul's or a near-beer with less than 3.2 percent alcohol. The beer flavor really adds a lot to this dish. Please do not serve this dish to people who do not drink alcohol. Alcohol really doesn't fully cook out of the food. The Melting Pot uses vegetable broth in place of beer for those that do not want alcohol. It is just as good as with the beer.

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.

Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your fondue. Look for a cheese that is well-aged and has a strong flavor, such as Gruyère, Emmental, or Cheddar.
- Grate the cheese yourself: Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly. For the best results, grate the cheese yourself just before using it.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the fondue from burning. A cast iron or stainless steel pot is a good choice.
- Cook the fondue slowly: Don't rush the process. Cook the fondue over low heat, stirring constantly, until it is melted and smooth. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Add flavorings: Once the fondue is melted, you can add flavorings to taste. Some popular additions include garlic, onion, nutmeg, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Serve the fondue with a variety of dippers: Bread, vegetables, and fruit are all great options for dipping in fondue. You can also serve it with meats, such as chicken or shrimp.
Conclusion:
Fondue is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for parties or gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little bit of practice, you can make a fondue that will impress your friends and family.
