TRADITIONAL CHEESE FONDUE
• 1 garlic clove, halved crosswise
• 375 ml (1 1/2 cups) dry white wine
• 15 ml (1 tbsp) corn starch
• 10 ml (2 tsp) kirsch
• 300 g (2/3 lb.) Emmental cheese, grated (650 ml / 2 3/4 cups)
• 300 g (2/3 lb.) Gruyere cheese, grated (650 ml / 2 3/4 cups)
• nutmeg
• pepper
• 1 loaf good bread, cut into 2.5 cm (1 inch) cubes
Rub the inside of a Swissmar fondue pot with the cut sides of the garlic to
flavour the pot. Discard garlic (or keep it in for a little more flavour). Pour the
wine into a pot and bring to a mild simmer over medium heat. Toss together
the grated cheese with the cornstarch. Gradually add the cheese/cornstarch
mixture 1 handful at a time to the heated wine in the pot and cook, stirring
constantly in a zigzag pattern. Bring fondue to a simmer and cook, stirring,
about 5-8 minutes until thickened. Stir in the Kirsch, nutmeg and pepper. If
preparing your fondue in a separate pot, transfer cheese fondue mixture to a
fondue pot and serve with cubed bread for dipping.
NOTE: The ceramic Baine-marie insert is not to be used for oil or broth
based fondue. Ensure that the spatter guard is placed on top of the stainless
steel pot during use.
