Directions
COOKING (~15 MINUTES)
Rub the inside of your warming pot with cut garlic clove. Place on stove, pour wine and kirsch into pot, and heat over medium flame until bubbles rise lazily (not boiling).
Add lemon juice and handfuls of cheese, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon (slashing crosswise so cheese doesn’t ball up) until cheese is melted and the mixture has the appearance of a light, creamy and smooth sauce. Add pepper and nutmeg to taste.
Bring to a very slow boil, then remove pot from stove and place atop lighted burner at table. Adjust flame of burner so fondue continues bubbling very lightly. Thin the mixture with a bit of heated white wine as necessary.
Enjoy fondue with crusty bread, steamed vegetables, cooked sausages, and more! In our opinion, nearly anything can be dipped in fondue!
