Chocolate Fondue and Fresh Fruit is a great to share with family and friends, while fulfilling your chocolate craving and eating your daily requirements of fruit.   As you know, you can select peaches, strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, seedless grapes and cherries. 

8 oz plain chocolate, broken into squares
1 1/4 cups single cream
2/3 cup icing sugar
1/3 cup unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla essence

FRUIT Suggestions:

12 strawberries
2 oranges, divided into segments
2 bananas, cut into chunks and dipped in lemon juice
6 small bunches of grapes
Shortbread fingers


Place all the fondue ingredients in a flameproof pot and heat gently, stirring until melted.  Keep warm, if necessary, at the side of the barbecue (but not directly over the coals or it might burn). Arrange the fruits on six serving plates with some shortbread fingers.

Then ready to serve, make sure the fondue is hot, then bring to the table and serve with forks to dip the fruits into the chocolate.  Dip shortbread fingers in last to scoop up the dregs.
