This year, because of snow and sickness, we had our own thanksgiving just us at home. We decided to make fondue instead of a traditional turkey dinner. I have been learning about Swiss foods from my sister and wanted to try fondue.
I used a three cheese mixture. Fontina, Gruyere, and Gouda. They say fondue is all about the cheese. We loved this combination. Our sides included baked broccoli, white and sweet potatoe wedges, homemade crackers, multi grain French bread, green pepper, and some dessert sides with chocolate. I used a ceramic bowl with a tea light underneath In place of a fondue pot. The chocolate was in a glass jar sitting in a crackpot with warm water. The whole meal took me less then 1 hour to put together. We loved the many options and fresh foods. This is a meal we will be making again.
