Cheese
- 8 ounces Swiss or Emmentaler cheese
- 6 ounces Gruyère or Grand Cru cheese
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
Fondue
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon finely chopped garlic
- 1 ounce Kirschwasser cherry flavored liqueur
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Dippers
- 1/2 loaf French bread cubed
- 1 Granny Smith apple sliced
Shred the cheese and toss with the flour in a large bowl. Set aside.
Using a double boiler or fondue pot over medium heat, add the white wine, lemon juice and finely diced garlic. Heat for 1-2 minutes.
Add half of the cheese to the pot and whish until melted and smooth.
Add the remaining cheese and whisk until melted and well combined.
Using a spatula, pull the cheese from the edge and add the Kirschwasser to the side of the pot. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the alcohol has a chance to cook off a little bit.
Whisk in the black pepper and nutmeg and serve with cubed bread and apples.
