Basic Cheese Fondue Recipe

2		Garlic cloves, cut in half
500 ml	(2 cups)	Dry white wine
225 g	(1/2 lb)	Gruyere cheese, shredded
225 g	(1/2 lb)	Emnenthaler cheese, shredded
15 ml	(1 tbs)	Lemon juice
30 ml	(2 tbs)	Flour
45 ml	(3 tbs)	Kirsch
2 ml	(1/2 tsp)	Nutmeg
2 ml	(1/2 tsp)	Paprika
		Pepper

1. Rub the garlic inside the fondue pot then discard.

2. Pour the white wine and lemon juice into the pot and turn on the burner.

3. Let the wine and lemon juice warm up without boiling.

4. Reduce heat and add the shredded cheese.

5. With a wooden spoon, mix well and stir regularly.

6. Add remaining ingredients.

7. Add pepper to taste.

8. If the mixture is too hard, add wine. If the mixture is too soft, add cheese.

9. Dip bite size pieces of bread or vegetables.

10. Let the freshly dipped pieces cool off for a few seconds, then enjoy and repeat but no double-dipping!

Note: Italian or French bread (baguette) makes excellent dippers when cut into small pieces. You can also try mild green or red peppers, zucchini slices, steamed broccoli or cauliflower or whatever else you're in the mood for.

Tip: If you ask your guests to make a figure 8 while dipping, this will ensure that the cheese mixture gets constantly stirred.
