RECIPE: WHITE CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN FONDUE

Ingredients For The Fondue

8 ounces white chocolate, chopped (look for Green & Black’s, Lindt or other premium brand)

1 tablespoon heavy cream

1 heaping teaspoon pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)

1-1/2 teaspoons Bacardi 151 Rum*

Pinch nutmeg

Optional: chopped graham crackers or white chocolate shavings

*Bacardi 151 is a brand of highly alcoholic rum, named for its alcohol proof level of 151 (75.5% alcohol by volume or A.B.V.). This is about double the alcohol of conventional rum (35%–40% A.B.V.). You can substitute a liqueur instead; see Step 3 below.

For The Dippers

Cake cubes: blondies, brownies, doughnut holes or pieces, loaf cakes (carrot, chocolate, pound)

Cookies: amaretti, biscotti, graham crackers, granola bars, lady fingers, meringues, shortbread fingers, tea biscuits

Dried fruits: apples, apricots, dates, figs, mangoes, prunes

Fresh fruits: apples, bananas, grapes. mandarins/oranges, pears, pineapple, strawberries

Preparation

1. PLACE the chocolate and cream in the top of a double boiler pot over medium heat, stirring constantly so as not to scorch the chocolate. Alternatively, melt in the microwave in 45 second increments, stirring after each one.

2. POUR the melted chocolate into a fondue pot. Add the pumpkin purée, blending gently. Taste and add more pumpkin if you like.

3. ADD the rum to the pot and light with a long match or fireplace lighter. As the rum burns away, carefully stir the mixture together. If you don’t want to purchase 151 rum or flambé, stir the equivalent amount of orange liqueur into the melted chocolate and blend.

4. SPRINKLE the nutmeg into the pot and gently fold in. The Melting Pot garnishes the top of the fondue with chopped graham crackers, but we prefer to use the graham crackers as dippers.
