2.Put the olive oil in the fondue pot and set to Setting 5. Once oil is hot, add the shallot and garlic; sauté until softened, about 1 minute.

3.Add 1 cup of the wine and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and bring to a simmer (but not boiling).

4.Once the wine begins to simmer, reduce the temperature to Setting 3–3.5. Slowly add the cheese, about ¼ to 1⁄3 of a cup at a time.

Use a nonstick whisk (such as a silicone- coated one) to work the cheese into the liquid. Once the cheese is fully melted into the wine, gradually add more cheese, little by little, alternating with the wine as you go, about 1⁄3 to ½ cup at a time. This ensures that the consis- tency of the fondue will be nice and creamy. (The wine keeps the cheese from separating and from becoming stringy).

5.Once all the cheese has been added (most of the wine will be incorporated as well, but yo may have up to ½ cup remaining) make a slurry of the remaining cornstarch and lemon juice by stirring the two together until homog- enous. Add the slurry to the fondue and whisk to fully combine. Stir in the pesto to combine. If the fondue is too thick, whisk in additional wine.

6.Reduce the temperature to Setting 3 for serving. The fondue should just simmer, but never come close to boiling. Serve with cubes of crusty Italian bread and blanched vegetables, such as broccoli and cauliflower.

1½ pounds extra-sharp Cheddar, finely shredded

2½ tablespoons cornstarch, divided

½teaspoon dry mustard

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 small shallot, peeled and chopped

½small to medium apple, cored and finely chopped (does not need to be peeled)

2½ cups hard cider*, room temperature, divided (note: you may not need all of the cider)

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1.Put the shredded Cheddar in a large bowl and toss with 1½ tablespoons of the cornstarch and all the dry mustard to fully coat. Reserve.

3.Add 1 cup of the cider and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and bring to a simmer (but not boiling).

4.Once the cider begins to simmer, reduce the temperature to Setting 3–3.5. Slowly add the cheese, about ¼ to 1⁄3 of a cup at a time. Use a nonstick whisk (such as a silicone coated one) to work the cheese into the liquid.

Once the cheese is fully melted into the cider, gradually add more cheese, little by little, alter nating with the cider as you go, about 1⁄3 to ½ cup at a time. This ensures that the consistency of the fondue will be nice and creamy. (The alcohol in the cider keeps the cheese from separating and from becoming stringy).

5.Once all the cheese has been added (most of the cider will be incorporated as well,

but you may have up to ½ cup remaining) make a slurry of the remaining cornstarch and lemon juice by stirring the two together until homogenous. Add the slurry to the fondue and whisk to fully combine. If the fondue is too thick, whisk in additional wine.

6.Reduce the temperature to Setting 3 for serving. The fondue should just simmer, but never come close to boiling. Serve with cubes of crusty bread, soft or hard pretzels and blanched vegetables.
