Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rub the inside of a large heavy saucepot or fondue pot thoroughly with the cut garlic clove.
  2. Discard the used garlic clove.
  3. Add 10 oz grated Swiss Emmental cheese and 10 oz grated Swiss Gruyère cheese to the pot.
  4. Sprinkle 4 teaspoons of cornstarch over the cheeses and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Pour in 2 cups of dry white wine and 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  6. Place the pot over medium-low heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon, ensuring all cheese is incorporated.
  7. Continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture becomes creamy and smooth.
  8. Stir in 1 1/4 oz of Kirschwasser (clear cherry brandy), a pinch of ground nutmeg, and pepper to taste.
  9. Cook for 1 minute longer, stirring gently, to blend the flavors.
  10. Transfer the fondue to a heated fondue pot or keep it warm on a low flame.
  11. Adjust the heat so the fondue bubbles very lightly.
  12. Serve immediately with cubed French or Italian bread and raw vegetables for dipping.
