Cheese fondue is only as good as the cheese you put in it—so always choose the best…nothing but ‘the’ best for this evening of course! Whisper sweet nothings in his or her ear as you eat.
Cut small slits in garlic clove; rub clove all over inside of fondue pot. Pour in all but 2 tablespoons of the wine; bring to simmer over medium heat on stove top.
Add the cheese; stirring until melted. To keep the cheese from forming clumps while it's melting, always stir it with a wooden spoon in a figure-eight pattern. Dissolve cornstarch in the remaining wine; stir into fondue pot along with pepper and nutmeg. Bring to simmer, stirring; simmer for 1 minute 1 Minute. Stir in kirsch (optional).
Place over medium-low heat on the fondue burner, adjust heat as necessary to maintain a low simmer and stir often. The fondue should always be bubbling gently, but should never get too hot, always smooth and creamy. To keep the fondue creamy right down to the last bite, stir the fondue throughout the meal!
Serve with ‘dippers’ and dive into your warm delicious cheese. Even when you're eating, stir the ‘dippers’ around in the cheese. Enjoy with your love!
Serving Size Serves 2, of course!
