Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 pounds chilled slightly firm Brie cheese
  • 2 tablespoons gluten free all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon butter or buttery spread
  • 3 tablespoons minced shallots
  • 1 1/2 cups (or more) 100% pink grapefruit juice
  • white pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
  • 1 teaspoon grated grapefruit peel
  • gluten free bread cut or torn into 1-inch pieces
  • apple and pear slices
  • cooked shrimp (you don’t need fondue skewers if you used the tail-on variety)
  • asparagus spears, cherry tomatoes, and slices of zucchini and summer squash

Instruction

  • Remove rind from cheese.
  • Tear cheese into pieces and place in a large bowl. Add gluten free flour and toss to coat.
  • Melt buttery spread in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add minced shallots and sauté until golden brown, about 4 minutes.
  • Add 1 1/2 cups grapefruit juice. Simmer until liquid is reduced to 1 cup, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Add 1 handful of brie to the saucepan and stir constantly until the cheese melts about 5 minutes.
  • Repeat with remaining cheese, 1 handful at a time.
  • Season to taste with white pepper.
  • Stir in chives and grapefruit peel.
  • Pour cheese mixture into a fondue pot and set over a candle or canned heat. Serve with the dippers of your choice.
