1-2 tsp fresh ginger, grated

Basic Kid-Friendly Broth for Fondue

We love making fondue for New Year's Eve! This year we went for it and did the full 3 courses. The adults enjoyed the Mojo broth while the kids enjoyed this simple, yet flavorful broth:

4 c. chicken broth
1/2 onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 rib celery, minced (optional)
1 carrot, finely diced (optional)

Yep, it's literally just chicken broth, onion, and garlic. Add the other vegetables for more flavor if your kids don't mind. (I'm sure mine wouldn't have, but I was tired of chopping things!) If you add the carrot and celery, start it on the stovetop and soften all the veggies in a little oil.  Then put the broth and vegetables in a fondue pot and turn on high. Bring to a boil and you're ready to go!

Favorite Cheese Fondue

1 Tbs. lemon juice
2 tablespoons flour

Shred the cheese. Place the cheese and the flour in a Ziploc bag and shake to coat. Set aside. Vigorously rub the inside of a saucepan with the cut sides of the garlic, discard the garlic. Add the chicken broth and lemon juice to the pan and bring to a simmer. Turn the heat down to medium-low. Add the cheese a little at a time, stirring constantly. Stir just until cheese has melted and mixture is creamy. Remove from heat to pre-heated fondue pot on low-med temp. Serves about 6.
