Cheese Fondue

Prep Time: 5 min Cook Time: 10 min

Ingredients

•1 3/4 cups dry white wine (I used wine vinegar)

•1 tablespoon lemon juice

•3/4 pound Gruyere, shredded

•3/4 pound Emmentaler, shredded

•1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

•1/3 cup apple brandy
•Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste

•A pinch or 2 cayenne pepper, to taste

Directions

Put the wine in a fondue pot and bring to a bubble over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the lemon juice, then add the cheeses in handfuls, stirring in a figure-8 motion with wooden spoon. When the cheese is fully melted, stir the cornstarch into the brandy, in a small bowl until smooth, then add to cheese. Season with nutmeg and cayenne and serve over a warming station for your fondue pot.
