    List of Ingredients

    2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    1-1/2 tablespoons amaretto flavored liqueur or espresso coffee
    1/2 teaspoon orange extract, optional

    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.
