CHERRY CHOCOLATE FONDUE

Makes 10 servings.

1 package (6 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 jar (6 oz.) maraschino cherries, well drained and
quartered (reserve juice)
2 cans (15.25 oz. each) Bartlett pear slices in heavy
syrup, drained
1 pound cake or angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes


Cooking Directions

Place chocolate pieces and whipping cream in a 2-cup glass measure.

Microwave for 1 minute or until chips are melted, stirring every 30 seconds.

Stir in cherries and reserved cherry juice.

Pour chocolate mixture into fondue pot.

Use fondue forks or wooden picks to dip pear slices and cake cubes into chocolate mixture.


Serving Suggestions

Fondue seems to be a food style that drops in and out of popular trends. Fondue used to be a popular dish for dinner parties in the fifties, sixties and seventies. As the saying goes, "everything old is new again". Isn't it time you hauled out that old fondue pot for this fun dessert?
