Sweet Home Farm Fondue
Just across the state line, in Elberta, Ala., lies a countryside culinary jewel called Sweet Home Farm, where a family of cheese makers produces some of the best-tasting organic cheese in the country. This Grade A dairy, with the help of a herd of Guernsey cows, produces and sells 16 varieties of all-natural raw-milk cheese. These wonderful cheeses are worth the trip and are great for this spicy fondue. Try it with a bottle of Cellar No. 8 Merlot.
- 3 ounces Sweet Home Farm habanero cheese
- 8 ounces Sweet Home Farm garlic blue cheese
- 5 ounces Sweet Home Farm manchego cheese
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 ounces Bass Ale
- Bread cubes
- Celery sticks
- Carrot sticks
- 1 bottle Cellar No. 8 Merlot
Shred cheeses and toss with cornstarch. Sauté onion in olive oil until clear. Add beer to the saucepan, bring to a boil and slowly stir in the cheeses. Transfer to a warmed ceramic pot. Pop the bottle of Merlot and pour glasses all around, dip into the cheese pot and enjoy a little taste of home, sweet home.
This is great for parties!
