Three Local Cheese Fondue
Serves: 6 to 8
As fall settles in and the air gets crisp, my thoughts inevitably turn to steamy cheese fondue. Any combination of your favorite semi-firm cheeses would work in this recipe. Feel free to experiment! When you're choosing apples for roasting, you might try Honeycrisp, Pink Lady or Gala. Enjoy!
