Classic Fondue in French Style
Here is a classic cheese fondue recipe generously provided by them.
| 5 ml | (1 tsp) | Kirschwasser |
| 7 ml | (1/2 Tbsp) | cornstarch |
| 3 oz | (6 Tbsp) | Dry white wine (Domaine Giachino Abymes from the Savoie) |
| Pinch | Kosher Salt | |
| 2 grinds | White pepper from a mill | |
| 5 passes | fresh grated nutmeg | |
| 2 ounces | (57 g) | Bergkäse Alpenblumer, grated |
| 2 ounces | (57 g) | Emmenthal, grated |
| 2 ounces | (57 g) | Gruyère Vieux, grated |
| 1 | clove of garlic, minced |
1. Make a slurry with the Kirschwasser and the cornstarch. It should be thick, but pourable. Use more or less Kirschwasser to get a consistency you like. Set at the ready, next to the stove.
2. In an enameled cast iron fondue pot, add the wine, salt, pepper and nutmeg and bring to a boil.
3. Add the grated cheese all at once.
4. Whisk over heat until the cheese has melted.
5. Add the minced garlic. Whisk in your slurry, a little at a time, until the fondue has a pleasant texture.
6. Adjust the seasoning and serve hot.
