My friend and neighbor Molly passed along her mother’s recipe for crab fondue the other day.

As Molly says, it’s “totally addictive”!

Good for gatherings on cold winter days.

We also peeled and chopped up bosc pears to use for dipping in this recipe.

If you are avoiding wine, just use water to get to desired consistency.

This will work as a double boiler.)

Slowly stir in the wine and lemon juice (adjust quantities to taste and desired consistency).

Slowly stir in the crab meat and onion greens.

To serve, transfer to a heated chafing dish or fondue pot to keep warm.

Serve with bread cubes and forks for dipping.
