Traditional Swiss Cheese Fondue 1-2 loaves crusty french/Italian style bread cut into 1 inch cubes (this can be done hours in advance so that bread has a chance to dry a bit, or you can use day old bread) 2 quart pot (preferably stoneware) 1 clove garlic 2 cups Dry White wine such as a Chablis one half pound Gruyere Cheese one half pound Emmenthaler (or Swiss) Cheese 3-4 Tablespoons flour 1/4 cup Lemon Juice 2-3 tablespoons Kirsch (Cherry Brandy) Nutmeg and Pepper to taste Grate Cheese into a bowl, Sprinkle in flour and mix and set aside. Slice Garlic in half and rub the inside of pot with garlic until coated. Chop garlic finely and set aside. Pour in the wine and heat until small bubbles begin to form. Through in garlic, add Cheese by the handful, stirring constantly, allowing each handful to melt and be assimilated. Add lemon juice and Kirsch continuing to stir constantly as fondue begins to bubble lightly. Add pepper and nutmeg to taste. Place on fondue warmer if available, pierce bread with fondue forks, dunk bread into cheese, stir, enjoy! Some of the Cheese may tend to form a burnt layer on the bottom of the pan, when this is peeled off, it is considered a tasty treat. Serve with salad as an appetizer, and with small pickles and cocktail onions on the side. Do NOT drink cold drinks, instead a hot herbal tea with the meal will help the melted cheese digest.
