Ingredients for Pumpkin Fondue Recipe

• 1 medium sized pumpkin
• ½ pound Swiss cheese
• ½ pound Gruyere cheese
• ½ pound Emmentaler cheese
• ½ cup white wine
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• ½ clove of garlic minced finely
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• Salt
• Pepper
• Chopped fresh parsley

Preparation for Pumpkin Fondue Recipe Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice the top of your pumpkin so as to create a lid on the top of a bowl. Scoop out all of the pulp and seeds, leaving a 1-inch border along the walls of the pumpkin. Keep the pulp. Place the seedless pulp and minced garlic in a non-stick baking pan. Add a bit of extra virgin olive oil to the top, salt and pepper and place in oven to cook for about 25 minutes. When the pumpkin is cooked, let cool. In a large bowl places your heavy cream and cheeses. Mix well so the content is dispersed well. When your pumpkin squash is cool, puree it. Add to the mixture of cheeses. Add these ingredients to the hollow pumpkin. Place in oven for about 15 – 20 minutes. Occasionally stir your cheeses in the pumpkin. Serve the pumpkin fondue warm. Serve with parsley and baked bread.
