When the kids were growing up, we started the tradition to fondue on New Year’s Eve and watch a marathon of movies. We would pick movies that had multiple movies in the series like Harry Potter, The Pirates of the Caribbean, Jason Bourne, Lord of the Rings, Batman, Ocean’s 13, etc. Whatever the movie, it was about being together as a family and eating a meal that was a shared experience.<\/p>\n

Our children have all grown up and moved onto their own lives, but we continue to spend our New Year’s Eve\u00a0eating\u00a0fondue and watching movies until\u00a0about an hour before midnight.\u00a0 We do a peanut oil fondue with steak, chicken, mushrooms, and green peppers (we used to do hot dogs when the kids were younger).\u00a0 Then we do our family curry sauce, chutney, and b\u00e9arnaise sauce for dipping.\u00a0 Although we love a good cheese or chocolate fondue,\u00a0this is a perfect fondue for creating a hearty meal, especially when needing to offset all of the glasses of wine that lead\u00a0up to our midnight\u00a0toast.<\/p>\n

Our New Year’s Day tradition is pork and sauerkraut, which is a Pennsylvania Dutch tradition that is meant to provide good luck throughout the coming year.\u00a0\u00a0It works out really well since it is a slow cooker meal and we are usually\u00a0moving a little slower after New Year’s Eve.\u00a0 We’ve decided to share with you our curry fondue sauce recipe, which is obviously simple and can be used with other meals besides fondue.<\/p>\n
