1-1/2 cups (about 12 ounces) mascarpone cheese

1-1/2 tablespoons amaretto flavored liqueur or espresso coffee
1/2 teaspoon orange extract, optional
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Recipe
For dipping:
Grilled or broiled peaches, nectarines and pears
In a small-size saucepan, heat mascarpone cheese over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted. Stir in sugar, amaretto and orange extract and heat 1 to 2 minutes.
Transfer to a ceramic fondue pot and keep warm over a fondue burner. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg. The fondue may be served in the pot or individual warmed ramekins. Serve with grilled or broiled fruit.
For grilled fruit:Preheat grill or broiler. Cut fruit in halves and remove pits. Brush lightly with a little melted butter.
Grill fruit over medium-hot coals just until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Don't allow fruit to get too soft. The fruit may also be broiled 3 to 4 minutes, turning once.
