Cheese Fondue

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb Swiss cheese, shredded
• 1/2 lb Gruyere cheese, shredded
• 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 garlic clove, peeled
• 1 cup white wine (I used a chardonnay)
• 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 Tablespoon Kirsch (cherry brandy)
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
• A Pinch of nutmeg

Instructions:

1. Grate the cheese and put it all into a large ziploc. Add the cornstarch and shake the bag to coat the cheese. Store in the fridge until ready to use.
2. Rub the inside of the fondue pot with the garlic, then discard.
3. Over medium heat, add the wine and lemon juice and bring to a simmer. Gradually stir in the cheese until it melts. Once smooth, stir in the cherry brandy, mustard and nutmeg.
