Traffic seems to pick up around here leading up to Valentine's Day so I thought I would post a special romantic recipe just for the occasion.

Why fight the crowds at the restaurants for an overpriced meal? Fondue is the PERFECT Valentine's day treat. Imagine you and your loved one enjoying a candlelit treat in the comfor of your own home. No driving, no crowds, just you and that special someone. Here is an easy recipe to make this year's Valentine's day a memorable one!

  

  

Gingered White Chocolate Fondue

A triple dose of ginger—candied, ground and fresh—lends extra sophistication to this snowy white fondue. Serve with bite-size squares of angel food cake, pineapple chunks, dried apricots, Chinese fortune cookies and—of course—gingersnaps. When buying white chocolate, be sure the label lists cocoa butter as a major ingredient; confectionery coating, also called summer coating, will not work for fondue.


Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 pound white chocolate, chopped


Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan, combine cream, 2 tablespoons crystallized ginger, ground ginger and fresh ginger. Cook over medium heat, watching to make sure it doesn’t bubble up, until heated through.
2. Put white chocolate in a ceramic fondue pot. Pour in hot cream and whisk until chocolate melts. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon crystallized ginger over top. Keep warm over a low flame for dipping. If it begins to boil, turn off heat. Makes about 3 cups; 8 to 10 servings.
