### Sweet And Sour Fondue
**Ingredients:**
– 1 1/2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese
– 1 1/2 cups shredded Emmental cheese
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 1/2 cup white wine
– 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1/4 cup pineapple juice
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– Dipping options: cubed bread, roasted vegetables, apple slices, cooked sausage slices
**Instructions:**
1. In a bowl, toss the shredded Gruyere and Emmental cheeses with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until all the cheese shreds are coated evenly. This will help the cheese melt smoothly without clumping.
2. In a fondue pot or a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white wine, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, soy sauce, and pineapple juice. Stir well until the sugar has dissolved.
3. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth. Add this slurry to the pot and stir constantly until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Gradually add the coated cheese to the sauce, stirring continuously in a figure-eight motion until all the cheese has melted and the fondue is smooth and creamy. Be patient as you melt the cheese slowly to avoid a grainy texture.
5. Once the fondue is smooth and thick, transfer the pot to the fondue burner or keep it warm on the stovetop with very low heat.
6. Arrange your dipping options on a platter or cutting board around the fondue pot. Encourage your guests to spear a piece of bread, vegetable, fruit, or sausage with their fondue fork and dip it into the creamy, sweet, and sour cheese sauce.
7. Enjoy the delicious combination of flavors as you indulge in this delightful sweet and sour fondue. Remember to keep an eye on the heat to ensure the fondue stays nice and melted for your dipping pleasure.
Whether you’re hosting a casual get-together with friends or looking for a cozy night in with your loved ones, this Sweet And Sour Fondue recipe will surely elevate your evening. The blend of Gruyere and Emmental cheeses with the tanginess of apple cider vinegar and sweetness of pineapple juice creates a unique and mouthwatering fondue experience.
