Ingredients
1⁄2 pound Swiss Cheese (shredded)1⁄2 pound Gruyere Cheese (shredded)
2 tablespoons Cornstarch
2 cloves Garlic (chopped)
1 cup White Wine
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon Cherry Brandy
1⁄2 teaspoon Dry Mustard
pinch Ground Nutmeg
pinch Black Pepper
Directions
- In a small bowl, coat the cheeses with cornstarch and set aside.
- Over medium heat, add the wine, lemon juice and garlic 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, black pepper and nutmeg.
- Arrange an assortment of bite-sized dipping foods on a lazy Susan around fondue pot. Serve with chunks of breads. Some other suggestions are Granny Smith apples and blanched vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and asparagus. You can sear chicken or steak. Spear with fondue forks or wooden skewers, dip, swirl and enjoy!
