I have this easy cheese fondue recipe on Christmas Eve and New Years. What a delight!

NEW YEARS EASY CHEESE FONDUE RECIPE

12 oz Gruyere cheese, grated
12 oz Swiss cheese, grated
2 cups dry white wine (I use Chardonnay)
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 TBS cherry brandy (Kirsch)
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 tsp cornstarch (you may need more)
dash of nutmeg and paprika

Using the garlic peel, cut and rub the whole inside of your fondue pot.

Add 1/2 of the white wine and the lemon juice. Heat until bubbly, then reduce the heat to low when you add 1/2 of the Gruyere and Swiss cheese. When this is melted and combined, add the remaining cheese and wine.

In a small bowl, add the Kirsch to the cornstarch and mix until creamy. Slowly blend this into the cheese mixture. Cook, stirring constantly until thick and creamy. If it is too runny, add another teaspoon of cornstarch.

Now add the nutmeg and paprika and serve with chunks of French bread, apples, sausage or vegetables. It is such an easy cheese fondue recipe.
