Ingredients

1/2 pound imported Swiss cheese, shredded
1/2 pound Gruyere cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cherry brandy, such as kirsch
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
Pinch nutmeg
Assorted dippers

Directions

In a small bowl, coat the cheeses with cornstarch and set aside. Rub the inside of the ceramic fondue pot with the garlic, then discard.

Over medium heat, add the wine and lemon juice and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually stir the cheese into the simmering liquid. Melting the cheese gradually encourages a smooth fondue. Once smooth, stir in cherry brandy, mustard and nutmeg.

Arrange an assortment of bite-sized dipping foods on a lazy Susan around fondue pot. Serve with chunks of French and pumpernickel breads. Some other suggestions are Granny Smith apples and blanched vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and asparagus. Spear with fondue forks or wooden skewers, dip, swirl and enjoy!

The Best Ever
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This fondue is wonderful...and for all of you idiots who are scoring it a one, solely based on the fact that it's not... freaking vegan...get a life, eat some damn meat, and shut up. I truly think that's why you are all so cranky. You just need some steak!Read more

A Thanksgiving Staple
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this last year for Thanksgiving; it was such a hit that I decided to make it a tradition! This is serious fondue; be... careful to make it correctly or else you will have wasted about $40 in ingredients. The trick to making this come out correctly is to continuously stir the mixture and not to burn it. Keep the flame on medium at most. I didn't want to buy cherry brandy, so I just used some canned cherry juice. It worked just the same. I am making it again for New Years... mmm, can't wait!Read more

YOU DA MAN TY
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was perfect for my romantic evening with my lovely girlfriend and future wife. I absolutely loved it, perfect... consistency and flavors. My recommendation is to finish the cheese fondue last after all of your dippers are ready. The only thing I did differently was add Havarti and Gruyere instead of Swiss since Gruyere is already a type of Swiss I just really wanted to switch it up. It was my girlfriends idea and a really great one I absolutely recommend it. Our night was magical in many ways and the food was where it all started and sparked the night. Thanks Ty. Keep up the good work.Read more
