Recipe Ingredients

1 Garlic clove, cut in half

2 c Dry white wine, Neuchatel, ~ Rhine or Chablis

1 l b Emmenthaler or Gruyere, or a ~ mix, finely cut not grated

3 t b Corn starch

3 t b Kirsh or brandy Salt Black pepper

1 p n Nutmeg

2 Loaves crusty French or Italian bread (baguettes)

Directions

Rub an earthenware casserole or chafing dish or fondue pot with cut
garlic. Pour in wine and bring to a simmer over low heat; DO NOT
BOIL. Gradually stir in cheese bits (grated cheese tends to lump).
When melted, stir in corn starch that has been dissolved in Kirsh.
Add salt, pepper and nutmeg; stir and bring to a simmer. Keep cheese
bubbling lightly over LOW heat or it will toughen. If it becomes too
thick, add a little preheated wine. If it separates, add 1/2 teaspoon
of corn starch dissolved in a little wine, then warm slightly. Serve
with bread cubes that guests can spear on fondue forks, then dip into
the cheese mixture. Serve a tossed salad on the side and offer fruit
for dessert. Accompany with Kirsh, neuchatel wine or beer.
