Can anyone suggest what I can put in a fondue if the dippers are going to be little cubes of cheese?

Question

The cheese I would like to use is Wenslydale with cranberries but I dont know what sauce would be nice

Answer 1

Wensleydale is really crumbly and will fall to pieces if you poke a fondue stick in it. - It wont make good dippers.

Try a cheese like haloumi - cypriot cheese that holds together when cooking - if it gets warm it also wont melt and drip - and maybe a tomato and chilli fondue sauce.

(haloumi is also good fried and served with salad and balsamic vinaigrette, mmm mm)

Answer 2

Cheese is not really used in a fondue because it melts too quickly, I would use the cheese in the sauce then have vegetables and chicken/meat to dip into it.
You should leave the dips in the sauce until they are properly cooked, you can also dip bread into the sauce.

But anything goes - have fun

Answer 3

Anything you use would have to be kept cool enough not to melt the cheese.

I'd suggest you just serve the cheese as an appetizer and do a regular fondue of some kind.

Answer 4

If the normal fondue is bread dipped into cheese, surely you should be dipping cheese into bread sauce.

Answer 5

I'm not sure because if you use a cheese fondue it might be too cheesy. I would suggest making a cheese or chocolate fondue and then get different things for dipping.

Answer 6

A lite mustardy type sauce to contrast with the flavour of the cheese, or if the cheese is mild have a stronger flavour dip

Answer 7

I wish my mom made me that.Oh and some kind of cheese or maybe holiandase sauce?

Answer 8

bread sauce with chives

Answer 9

spaghetti sauce?
