Recipe Cheese Fondue : Try Non Alcoholic Fondue

Do you want to share your love of cheese fondue with your children? Or did you just find out that one of your fondue party guests doesnt drink alcohol? Well then its time to learn how to make non-alcoholic fondue. Non alcoholic fondue is great for kids and other people who for whatever their reason, have an aversion to alcohol. The white wine that provides the unique flavor to fondue can be substituted with apple cider. Apple cider will give you the great taste that you expect from fondue without the alcohol.

At the end of the cold season, usually all that was left was hard cheeses and wine. So with some experimentation and innovation, those ingredients were combined with crunchy bread to create the first fondue dinners.

So take a lesson from the people of the Swiss Alps and use what you have on hand. Dont worry about fondue lovers complaining that your fondue has no bite to it.

If you use apple cider in your fondue, you will never miss the white wine.
