Ingredients

4 servings

  1 large garlic clove, crushed out of its skin

  1 1/4 cups dry white wine

  1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  8 ounces Gruyère cheese, shredded

  8 ounces Emmentaler cheese, shredded

  1 tablespoon cornstarch

  1/4 cup kirschwasser (cherry brandy)

  1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

  White pepper or cayenne

  

Serve with. . .

Cubed ham

  Marinated mushrooms or fresh whole sautéed button mushrooms

  Blanched asparagus or white asparagus

  Whole trimmed radishes

  Small dill pickles or cornichons

  Rub the inside of a small pot with the garlic, then discard the garlic. Add the wine to the pot and bring up to a bubble over medium heat. Reduce the heat to simmer and add the lemon juice, then the cheeses in handfuls. Stir constantly in a figure eight pattern with a wooden spoon, melting the cheese in batches. When the cheese has been incorporated fully, stir the cornstarch into the brandy in a small bowl and then stir the brandy into the cheese. Season the fondue with the nutmeg and white or cayenne pepper, to taste. Transfer the fondue to a fondue pot and serve.
