Ingredients

Fondue

2 cups full-bodied red wine (Zinfandel, Barolo or Cabernet Sauvignon)*
1 cup sugar
4 teaspoons dry fruit pectin

Dippers

LAND O LAKES® Deli Sharp Cheddar, Chedarella® or Monterey Jack Cheese, cubed 1/2-inch

Directions

Combine wine and sugar in 10-inch skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until mixture comes to a boil (2 to 3 minutes). Reduce heat to medium; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until mixture is reduced to about 1 cup (20 to 25 minutes).

Stir in pectin; continue cooking, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Cool completely. Serve as a dip with cheese cubes.

*Substitute 2 cups non-alcoholic red wine.

TIP: Fondue is typically made from cheese, white wine and savory seasonings into which French bread is dipped. Here, the cheese is used as a dipper for this richly flavored "fondue". Try dipping pieces of fruit, gingerbread or angel food cake as well as cheese into this shiny, berry-colored syrup.

We served this for a Halloween cocktail party as a "blood red" dip for sharp cheddar cheese & fruit. I will make this anytime during the fall/winter season. It was delicious, unique & easy to make. I used Merlot & organic sugar, and increased the ingredients by 50%. It was served in small batches to keep it well chilled. It is also nice drizzled on a plate for cheese cake or a little on ice cream. My guests were impressed that I did a "wine reduction" so they must not realize how easy it was :-) !!

Make Ahead Stuffed Pasta Shells

My son Kyle’s senior year of college football is in full swing. Because he is living off-campus this year I knew I would be getting more than one last minute phone call asking if some of his teammates and he could come over for dinner. I wanted to be prepared so I decided I needed to stock my freezer with some easy-to-get-on-the-table entrees. Pasta is always a hit so I went to work preparing Stuffed Pasta Shells to have on hand for the “can we come over for dinner” request.
