Pam’s Crab Fondue Recipe
Description
This delightful crab fondue recipe, lovingly shared by my sister-in-law Pam, is a must-try for any crab lover. Despite the challenge of finding fresh crab in Pennsylvania, this fondue is an absolute favorite. While I’m hesitant to use canned crab due to concerns about quality, I encourage anyone who tries it that way to share their experience. Serve this indulgent dish with warm baguette slices or assorted crackers for a truly satisfying appetizer.
