1.Put the thawed raspberries in the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal chop- ping blade. Process until puréed and smooth, about 30 seconds. Place the purée in a fine mesh strainer and press the liquid through into a bowl. Discard the seeds, reserving the purée.

2.Put the cream in the fondue pot. Set to Setting 4.5 to bring the mixture to a simmer, but not boiling. Reduce the heat to Setting 3.5 and gradually, using a nonstick whisk, add the chocolate chips.

3.When the chocolate is completely blended stir in the raspberry purée, salt and the liqueur (if using).

4.Reduce heat to Setting 3. Serve with biscotti, fresh or dried fruit, marshmallows, graham crackers, pretzels, angel food cake, brownies, etc.

White Chocolate Fondue

White chocolate leans on the sweeter side, so pairing with more salty or tart items seems to work best, such as pretzels and green apples.

Makes 6 to 8 servings

1cup whole or reduced fat milk

½ cup heavy cream

1½ pounds white chocolate (chips or chopped white chocolate)

pinch sea salt

1.Put the milk and heavy cream in the fondue pot. Set to Setting 4.5 to bring the mixture to a simmer, but not boiling. Reduce the heat to Setting 3.5 and gradually, using a nonstick whisk, add the chocolate. When the chocolate is completely blended, stir in the salt.

2.Reduce heat to Setting 3. Serve with biscotti, fresh or dried fruit, marshmallows, graham crackers, angel food cake, brownies, etc.

Butter Caramel Fondue

Like the chocolate fondue, any leftover can either be reheated the following day, or drizzled over a bowl of ice cream.

Makes 6 to 8 servings

3cups granulated sugar 1½ teaspoons sea salt

¾ cup water

3tablespoons light corn syrup

1cup heavy cream

1stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes

1.Put the sugar, salt, water and corn syrup in the fondue pot. Set to Setting 7.5 and cook until the sugar mixture turns a very light amber color (about 15 minutes). Keep a close eye on the caramel sauce as it can burn easily.

2.Once the sugar mixture has a light amber color, reduce to Setting 5 and slowly and carefully stir in the cream, no more than ¼ cup at a time (if you add the cream too quickly, it will foam and bubble too much). After the cream has been incorporated, slowly whisk in the butter (using a nonstick whisk), one piece at a time, continually whisking to emulsify until all the butter has been added.

3.Reduce heat to Setting 3. This is best served with tart fruit, such as green apple wedges, pretzels, angel food cake, brownies, etc.
