Ingredients - Preparation Method:

1/2 pound Gruyere cheese (from Switzerland) 1/2 pound Appenzeller cheese (from Switzerland) 1/2 pound Tilsit cheese (from Denmark) or Vacherin ( 3 1/2 cloves garlic (or as much as you want) 1 1/2 cups dry white wine 3 tablespoons Kirsch Potato starch mixed with water -- as thickener Freshly grated black pepper Shred or cube cheese; melt in fondue pan with garlic, 1/2 cup wine, and kirsch (on the stove). Stir often. Add more wine if the cheese seems too dry as it's melting. When cheese is melted, add a little potato-starch-water mixture to thicken. Add pepper to taste. Transfer fondue pan to a fondue burner, and eat fast! Stir as each bread cube is dunked (stir with the bread), to prevent cheese from clumping. She adds that one should not drink cold beverages with cheese fondue, or your stomach will be sorry. She says white wine or tea is best, and warm-ish Coke or mineral water is OK. She said NEVER drink beer with Swiss fondue. (She was quite firm on this last point.) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
