Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Fondue is a great sharing dish that, traditionally, was savoury – but serving a sweet fondue is even better, and probably more attractive for the younger members of the family.
I've made this with various inflections of flavour – such as dark and white chocolate and hazelnut praline.
250-300g strawberries
For the salted caramel fondue
280g caster sugar
140ml water
100g glucose
30g butter
500ml double cream
2tsp Cornish sea salt
Put the sugar and water in a pan and bring to the boil on a medium heat, add the glucose and continue boiling until the mixture starts turning a dark caramel colour. Every so often, brush the sides of the pan with water to avoid the sugar crystallising and burning.
Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 5 minutes or so. Meanwhile, in another pan, bring the cream to the boil.
Gently stir the hot cream into the sugar and water mixture, bring back to the boil, then add the sea salt and butter. Serve in a fondue dish, or similar, with the strawberries all around.
