Canadian Cheddar and Oka Fondue
12 people added this to their Recipe Box
Everyone will enjoy this nutty, full-flavoured cheese fondue. For a milder, sweeter taste, try the Cheddar and Emmenthal variation. For the best results, make the fondue in a fondue pot directly on the stove top then transfer it to the burner at the table.
