• 6 oz Swiss, like Emmentaler



• 6 oz Gruyere



• 1 garlic clove



• 2 tbsp cornstarch



• 10 oz of dry to semi dry white wine, traditionally Neuchatel (you can substitute hard cider for the wine)

• 1 tbsp Kirsch liqour



• Food for dunking: Traditionally cubed French bread. Any crusty bread works good. Also veggies of your choice (broccoli, cauliflower, baby carrots, asparagus, mushrooms), as long as they are firm enough to stauy on the fork or skewer!

• Cube all your food items into bite-size chunks and plate separately



• Shred the cheese



• Cut the clove of garlic and rub the inside of both a saucepan and your fondue pot; discard when done



• Heat the wine or cider in the saucepan on low to medium low to simmer

• Add the Kirsch liquor



• When ready to serve, transfer sauce to the preheated fondue pot



• Be careful not to boil the sauce; adjust the heat level for the fondue pot accordingly!




ENJOY!

• Ahead of your fondue party, buy or prepare your favorite dipping sauces for the meat you would like to cook. Your imagination is your only boundary here. Common dipping sauces are teriyaki sauce, barbecue sauce, steak sauce, garlic butter, blue cheese dressing or cocktail sauce. Serve all these in separate bowls with serving spoons



• In your fondue pot heat cooking oil to an adequate temperature to fry your meat (about 365 deg F.). Be sure to use a metal fondue pot for any meat fondue. For safety reasons, don't use your stove to heat the oil, as transferring the fondue pot from the stove to your table is very dangerous! Use a digital thermometer to check for temperature.

• Optionally, you can use chicken or vegetable stock to cook the meat in (simmer)



• Meanwhile, if you have not cubed your meat or fish ahead of time, do so now



• When your cooking liquid is ready to go and you are ready to eat, present all meats separately in bowls on the table for everyone to chose from

• Place all dipping sauces on the table



• Ring the dinner bell and enjoy!
