Kid-Friendly Cheese Fondue

Ingredients:

Fondue

• 450 g grated Gruyere
• 1/4 tbsp. grated parmesan
• 2 cups clarified apple juice
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.5 tsp. country Dijon mustard

For dipping

• 1 baguette, cut into 1cm pieces (about 8 cups)
• 2 crisp apples, cored and thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp. baked potato balls
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tbsp. boiled penne pasta
• 1 cup mixed grape and cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 tbsp. pretzels or crackers
• 220 g salami, cut into 1 cm pieces.
• 0.5 cups of gherkins or pickled cucumbers

Preparation:

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the apple juice to a boil over medium heat. In a medium bowl, combine the Gruyère cheese and cornstarch. Add the cheese handfuls at a time to the simmering juice, stirring constantly until smooth and allowing the sauce to simmer between additions, about 30 seconds.
2. Remove the pan from the heat, add the Parmesan cheese, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Pour the sauce into a serving bowl and serve with any dipping appetizers (choose 3-4).
