Sweet & Sour Sauce

Store bought sweet and sour sauce works well in our fountain.  Some sauces will run at the perfect consistency without any additional ingredients.  One sauce we found that worked without thinning was Minor's Zesty Orange Sauce.  Other brands like Kikkoman or La Choy may also work well, but need to be thinned slightly with water.

To test the consistency:  Bring sauce to a medium heat and run it through a viscosity funnel.  If it takes more than 10 seconds to flow through the funnel, thin the sauce with water.

8 cups (64 oz) will be enough for use in the 5 lb fountain.

Heat Setting:  Medium

Suggested Dipping Items for this recipe:  Chicken Strips, Pineapple, Fried Wontons, Egg Rolls, Ladle into sticky rice and/or Grilled Vegetables (Broccoli, Snap Peas, Carrot Slices/Sticks, etc.)

Kickin' Barbecue Sauce

Combine all ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil.  Reduce and Simmer for 20 minutes.  Turn off heat and allow sauce to cool slightly.  Blend in small batches in a blender and then strain through a fine-mesh strainer.

Note:  For best results, prepare for immediate use in fountain.  Refrigerating and reheating the sauce may slightly alter it consistency.

Cream Cheese Icing

Cream the sugars and cream cheese with an electric blender/mixer.  Scrape down the sides of the bowl often to keep the mixture smooth.  Slowly add the milk until fondue reaches the appropriate consistency.

Suggested Dipping Items for this recipe:  Graham Crackers, Gingersnaps, Poppy Seed Bread, Cinnamon Twists, Mini Cinnamon Rolls, Orea Cookies, Orange Rolls or Strawberries.

Winter Marshmallow Cream Fondue

Heat the milk in a large sauce pan over medium heat.  Add the marshmallows and cook on Medium-High, stirring frequently to avoid scorching.  Once marshmallows are completely melted, continue stirring fondue over Medium-High for 10 more minutes before adding to the fountain.  This will improve the fondue's consistency. 

A tip:  Keep the extra fondue on hand for re-filling or for adjusting the consistency if necessary as the fondue may thicken if left standing.  Consistency can be adjusted by adding either more milk or fondue.
