Method

Ingredients

  • 1kg cheese, a selection of at least 3 (100- 150g per person) e.g. Gruyère, Emmental, Comte, Raclette, Jarlsberg
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 4 tablespoons Kirsch
  • 3 tablespoons cornflour
  • 450ml dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg, grated
  • ¼ teaspoon Cayenne pepper, ground
  • ¼ teaspoon Sweet Paprika powder
  • 1 crusty farm bread or baguette

  • Method

  • 1
    Remove the rind from the cheese and dice finely.
  • 2
    Peel the garlic clove, cut it in half and rub it across the inside of the saucepan. Then mix the Kirsch with the cornflour.
  • 3
    Put the cheese in the saucepan and pour both the white wine and lemon juice over it.
  • 4
    Melt the cheese over a low heat, making sure to stir continuously to prevent the cheese from burning. This will take around 30 minutes.
  • 5
    When the cheese begins to fully melt, stir vigorously until a creamy mass is formed. Then add the cornflour dissolved in Kirsch.
  • 6
    Increase the heat to medium and bring the cheese fondue to the boil while continuously stirring. Season with nutmeg, cayenne pepper and paprika.
  • 7
    Cut the bread into large squares.
  • 8
    Light a burner of your choosing on the Rechaud and place the saucepan with the cheese fondue on top. Serve immediately.
 
Serve alongside mixed pickles, a green salad with vinaigrette, cured meats or ham and potatoes.
