Fondue Night

2/3 lb Emmentaler
2/3 lb Gruyere
1 Cup dry white wine
1/4 Cup Kirschwasser
1 Tbs Corn Starch
Juice of 1/2 Lemon
Pepper
Nutmeg
1 Garlic Clove, cut in half and rubbed around the inside of the pot


Step 1:  Shred the cheese.  Yum!



Bring the wine to a boil in the pot rubbed with garlic.  Add lemon juice and cheese, melting as you go.  Dissolve the cornstarch in the Kirsch, and add to the cheese mix.  Add pepper and some nutmeg and let melt into gooey goodness.

Some say to mix the cornstarch with the cheese.  I've done that as well and did not notice any difference in the end result, as shown.

Next up...homemade mustard.

      I have cheesemaking equipment   It's been a few years, but maybe I'll give it a shot again.  I'll have to order the rennet and starters.  Gouda was my specialty.
