BASIC CHEESE FONDUE
1 lb Gruyere cheese, coarsely grated
  • 8 oz. Emmenthaler cheese, coarsely grated
  • 4 t - cornstarch
  • 1 garlic clove halved
  • 1 1/2 cups dry white wine, preferably Neufchatel
  • 2 t - lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 T - Kirsch
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • Freshly grated nutmeg, pinch



     
In a large bowl combine the cheeses and cornstarch and toss to coat. Rub the inside of a heavy saucepan with the garlic and discard the garlic. Add the wine and lemon juice and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir in the cheese mixture gradually over moderate heat, stirring until smooth.

Stir in Kirsch, if desired. Season with pepper and nutmeg. Simmer mixture for 2-3 minutes and transfer to a fondue stand set over low flame. Serve immediately, taking care to remember to continually stir the fondue to prevent it from separating.

Serve with cubes of bread.
