Sipping Tips: Choose a sweet and spicy German Gewurztraminer or Johannesburg Riesling for crisp honey flavor that mellows the tang of the cheese, or try a French Rosé, its light and bright flavors of rose and strawberry enhance the nuttiness of the Emmenthaler and Gruyere.
1 clove garlic, peeled and slice in half
1 1/2 c. dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc)
1/2 lb. Emmenthaler cheese, shredded
1/2 lb. Gruyere cheese, shredded
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 Tbsp. Kirschwasser (cherry brandy)

Rub a garlic clove all over the inside of a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Pour in wine and heat over medium heat to a simmer. Place shredded cheese in a bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly. Gradually add the cheese to the wine, in 3 to 4 batches. Stir continuously in a figure-eight motion to ensure smoothness. Turn heat to medium high, add Kirschwasser and continue stirring until smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, place in fondue pot and serve with your choice of dippables.

Enjoy a taste of tradition! French fondue enthusiasts break an egg and stir it into the last bit of melted cheese to extend their cheesy dippin’ pleasure. Bon appetite!
