STUFF: Recipe for Cheese Fondue
This is a fantastic and authentic Swiss fondue recipe courtesy of Les & Therese Barnette

Amount Ingredient
1.5 pounds Shredded cheese:
3/4 lb Gruyere, 3/4 lb Emmenthaler or
3/4 lb Gruyere, 1/2 lb Emmenthaler, and 1/4 lb Appenzeller
3 cups Dry white wine
2 tablespoons Cornstarch
2 Garlic cloves
Dash Nutmeg
Pinch Pepper
2 tablespoons Kirsch
1/2 teaspoon Salt (optional)
1 Baguette cut in bite size cubes (let your guests help with this activity!)


1) Rub fondue pot (earthen ware is traditional for cheese fondue, but stainless also works) with peeled garlic.

2) Mix cornstarch and kirsch in a small bowl.

3) Warm wine in fondue pot on your range.

4) Add shredded cheese mix, small amounts at a time, and seasonings while constantly stirring in a figure-eight motion until smooth.

5) Blend in kirsch and cornstarch; continue stirring until blended.

6) Add more wine (carefully!) if consistency seems too thick; your fondue is "just right" when it is perfectly smooth!

7) Transfer the pot to the burner and start dipping/twirling the bite-size cubes of crusty baguette (which continues to stir the fondue)

Bon Appetite!
