Ingredients:

Cheese Fondue:



1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Chocolate Fondue:



1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon butter

Accompaniments:



Bread cubes
Fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, apples)
Marshmallows

Equipment:
Small cast iron pot or fondue pot
Camp stove or portable grill
Long-handled forks or skewers
Fire starter or lighter

Instructions:

Cheese Fondue:



In a small bowl, combine the shredded cheese, cornstarch, and black pepper.
Over medium heat, heat the wine (if using) in the cast iron pot or fondue pot.
Gradually whisk in the cheese mixture until melted and smooth. If the fondue is too thick, add more wine. If it's too thin, add more cheese.
Keep the fondue warm over the fire.

Chocolate Fondue:



In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chocolate chips and heavy cream and stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Keep the chocolate fondue warm over the fire.

Serving:



Spear the bread cubes, fruit, or marshmallows with long-handled forks or skewers.
Dip the food into the desired fondue and enjoy!
Pass the pot around for everyone to share in the culinary adventure.

Tips:
Use a variety of cheeses to create different flavor profiles. Try adding a bit of cheddar for sharpness or Emmental for nuttiness.
For a richer chocolate fondue, use dark chocolate chips.
Experiment with different dipping options. Sliced apples, bananas, or pretzels can add a refreshing twist.
Keep the fondue away from open flames to prevent burning.
Clean up the pot as soon as possible to prevent cheese or chocolate from hardening and becoming difficult to remove.

Embrace the tranquility of the wilderness while savoring the delectable flavors of our backcountry fondue. Gather your loved ones around the campfire, roast marshmallows, and indulge in a culinary adventure that will ignite your senses and create cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
