Follow this recipe exact and it will make perfect Swiss fondue. I just replaced the Kirsch with a bit more wine and it came out perfect - just like the kind on the mountains of Switzerland. (replaced the Kirsch to make it more appealing to the kids). My only tip - try dipping small boiled potatoes along with good French bread and apples.
