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!

Absolutely delicious! I used gruyere, muenster and mozzarella. In place of the cherry brandy, I used a tbls. of apple cider vinegar! I also seasoned lightly with nutmeg, garlic powder, and kosher salt. We served it w/ crusty roasted garlic como loaf, granny smith apples, carrots, brocc and cauliflower! Even my 8 year old couldn't put the dipper down!

I had a fondue party and if they could have licked the fondue pot, my guests would have! It is so delicious! I also served it with cut up chunks of ham.
