Hello Bethany,
Sorry, The Melting Pot recipe for "mojo fondue" doesn't appear to be on
the Internet. This "cooking style" as they call it, is a Caribbean style
fondue with a citrus flavor. Below is another recipe for a Caribbean fondue.
Phaed
Caribbean Fondue
'This fondue is excellent with shrimp, scallops, small pieces
of chicken, mushrooms, cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini, red
pepper, etc. Serve the foods with lots of dips, chutneys and
of course, some El Chile Bandido Caribbean Red Sauce for a
true taste of the tropics"
2-1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup rum
2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tsp. El Chile Bandido Caribbean Red Sauce
1 tsp. curry powder
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil;
reduce heat and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes. Remove onion and
garlic (save to make a soup with any leftover broth) and transfer
to a heavy fondue pot. Keep broth hot over medium flame.
To serve, each person spears a piece of food onto a fondue fork or
skewer and poach until done to taste.
Makes about 3 cups of poaching liquid, enough for 6 people.
A reader found this recipe and sent it in:
Phaedrus,
I noticed in the archives someone was looking for a recipe for the Mojo
style of cooking from The Melting Pot recipe. I was able to find this one on
the internet. Hope this helps.

Hi Kae,
"Pike's Peak roast" is another name for a "heel of round roast"
There are some recipes here:
Heel of Round
and one below.
Phaed
Roast Beef with Gravy
1 3 to 5 pound Beef Roast (Pikes Peak, Rump, English, etcetera)
Gravy:
1 (10-ounce) can RoTel brand tomatoes (tomatoes with chilies)
2 (10 3/4-ounce) cans mushroom soup (store brand okay)
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can Campbell's brand golden mushroom soup
1 (1.5-ounce) package dry onion soup mix (store brand okay)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup chopped green onions
1 teaspoon black pepper
In a 16 quart roaster or cast iron Dutch Oven, mix all the gravy
ingredients and dilute with water to the consistency that you like
your gravy. Place roast in gravy and spoon some gravy over it. Place
in at 350*F (180*C) oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove and turn roast and
place back in oven for 1 hour.
Remove roast and slice in 1/4-inch slices across the grain. Place
back in the gravy, cover and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. The
roast beef will be tender enough to cut with a fork.
Note: Delicious served with mashed potatoes and garlic bread (bread
with garlic flavored oleo or butter and browned in a broiler.) Also,
we used to use a large baked potato insteadof mashed potatoes.
A 5 pound roast will serve 12 to 14 people.

Also, i was perusing your website and saw the request for knishes and
the recipe that you had.
I make knishes on a regular basis. I learned from my Bubby. I am
giving it to you here and you can try it, submit or not as you will.
I have also used things as fillings other than the standard potato
filling. The only caveat is that you really need something with good
surface tension. Mushroom duxelle and kasha don't work really easily
because they tend to fall out as the knishes are rolled.
Dough
4 cups AP flour
1 scant cup of oil + some extra
1 scant cup of hot tap water (not too hot, you don't want to set
the eggs)
2 large eggs
Mix by hand and knead slightly (2 minutes) adding a small amount
of flour.
The dough will be oily and stretchy.
Divide the dough (I do thirds) and roll out or stretch on a cloth
untilthe dough is very thin.
Spread oil over the rolled out dough.
In a ring about 2-3 inches in from the end form a "snake" of the
filling so that it forms a ring within the dough.
Folding the outside edges of the dough over the filling, roll and
stretch at the same time until your ring of dough is too big to roll
towards the center any more. Slit the inside of the circle of dough
with a sharp knife and fold that dough back onto the snake.
Using the side of your hand (little finger side down) flour your
hand and use it as a knife, sawing through the ring to pinch the
end of the dough while "cutting" through the ring. con tinue until
all of the ring has been "cut" into knishes. Bake at 350 for about
25-30 minutes.
Filling
For the above recipe of dough, use about 3 pounds of potatoes.
Peel, then boil potatoes until mashable. Saute 2 large onions,
chopped, in oil until translucent. Mash into the potatoes.
season with salt and pepper.
The whole recipe makes about 5 dozen 2-3 inch knishes.
