I made this for our New Year's Eve fondue dinner and dessert. I only had smoked turkey sausage and I served it with soft rye bread and small red potatoes that I boiled whole then cubed. The kids didn't like it but my DH ate until he was ready to pop. He ate the left over fondue on bbq pork sandwiches and on plain rice. I look forward to making this again for a party or a football gathering. Thanks Tish!
