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

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