Instructions: Place the raspberries in a blender and puree until smooth. Strain the puree into a medium saucepan. Using a wooden spoon, force the puree through the strainer, discarding the seeds.

Add the sugar to the puree and heat over medium heat until the sugar is melted and the fondue is bubbly, stirring frequently. Stir in the mint, then transfer the fondue to a fondue pot and keep warm or serve at room temperature.

This recipe yields 1 1/4 cups.

Comments: If the cheese is on the fondue fork, whats in the fondue pot? Why, the fruit, of course! Its a reverse fondue thats just as fun and tasty as the original.

Serve with bite-size pieces of Brie, cheddar, or Havarti cheese. Or you might want to use ladyfingers, ginger cookies, or chunks of pound cake.

Yield: 1 1/4 cups
