We were intrigued when we read from another review that this recipe won first place in a cooking contest and decided to give it a try. It was a huge success as one our fondue choices, everyone rave about it. We even used the leftovers for a topping for ice cream sundaes a few days later.

This recipe won 1st place in a fundraising cooking competition in the dessert category- and was judged by a celebrity pastry chef! Our cooking team omitted the ginger (forgot to buy it) and added the juice and zest of a blood orange as an added flavor/color. Upped the zest to around 1 tsp. on each citrus. Served with fresh fruit and a shortbread cookie.

The sleeper hit of my fondue party! Got rave reviews from everyone. I scaled it up to 15 servings since it makes such a tiny amount as written. I did use the grated peel of a whole lemon and a whole orange, because 1/2 tsp. called for in the scaled version seemed like it wouldn't do much for flavor. I also added 3/4 c. of apricot jam, for the simple reason that I had some in the 'fridge. Made a nice sunny color, wonderful smell. In addition to fruit, we dipped shortbread cookies, marshmallows, and bread cubes in this one. Also thought of drizzling it over angel food cake, or serving as a sauce for a fruit salad. Lots of possibilities!

The tasters liked this one. It was sweet and tasted best with the apples we served.

I took this to a party and everyone raved and wanted the recipe. I have also used it as a filling for a layered cake.

I personally thought it was wicked yummy! It didn't get eaten much at my ladies night party but I also had a ton of other options there as well including a chocolate fountain right beside it (it's hard to tear ladies away from the chocolate!). The only thing I could think of to make it better would be to thicken it up a bit so it's easier for dipping. I really like it tho!
