Categories     Crab

Time 10m

Yield 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 ounces crabmeat
20 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white wine
1/8 teaspoon caraway seed

Steps:

  • Drain crabmeat and flake.
  • Mix cheese and flour together.
  • Heat wine until bubbles rise.
  • Over low heat add cheese mixture to the wine, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring in between each addition, till the cheese is melted.
  • Add caraway seeds and crabmeat.
  • Transfer to fondue pot.
  • Last but not least, ENJOY!

Tips:

  • Choose the right wine: Use a dry, white wine with a high acidity, such as Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or Chardonnay. Avoid using sweet or red wines, as these can make the fondue too heavy or bitter.
  • Use good quality cheese: Use a blend of Swiss cheeses, such as Gruyère, Emmental, and Appenzeller. These cheeses melt smoothly and create a rich, flavorful fondue.
  • Grate the cheese finely: This will help the cheese melt evenly and smoothly.
  • Cook the fondue slowly: Bring the wine and cheese to a simmer over low heat, stirring constantly. Do not boil the fondue, as this can cause the cheese to separate.
  • Serve the fondue immediately: Fondue is best enjoyed when it is hot and melted. Serve it with a variety of dipping items, such as bread cubes, vegetables, and fruit.

Conclusion:

Wine fondue is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a romantic dinner. With the right ingredients and a little patience, you can create a fondue that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive meal, give wine fondue a try.
