Equipment

  • Fondue Pot with forks

Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic
  • cups dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • lbs (750g) grated Swiss Cheese Gruyere, Emmental and Fontina Cheese mix
  • 2 tablespoons Kirschwasser
  • pinch nutmeg optional
  • black pepper to taste
  • crusty loaf cut into large cubes

Instructions

  • Cut garlic clove in half. Rub the inside of the fondue pot with the garlic halves. If you like garlic, leave it inside the pot to cook with your cheese (definitely recommended).
  • Add the white wine and cornstarch and heat until smooth and hot, but not boiling.
  • Slowly add the Swiss cheeses while continually stirring until melted and smooth. If cheese mixture is too thick, add an extra ¼ cup of white wine or until you are happy with the consistency. Season with nutmeg and black pepper. Add the Kirsch.
  • Remove the fondue pot from the stove, and place over a fondue burner and serve immediately with the crusty bread.
