This traditional cheese fondue is a fun party food but also delicious as a just for fun dinner with family. Serve it with cubed bread, broccoli, carrots, apple slices, and more.
Mix together the shredded cheese and cornstarch, then set aside.
1 pound gruyere cheese, 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Heat wine and kirsch together until they start to steam but do not boil. Turn down heat just a bit, then cheese a bit at a time, stirring to melt between each addition.
1 1/2 cups dry white wine, 1/8 cup kirsch
Once smooth, add nutmeg and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately with chunks of bread and apples, along with carrots and broccoli.
This enough for a main-ish course for four people or up to eight people as an appetizer.
If you have leftovers, reheat them gently over low heat on the stove or in your fondue pot. If cheese exceeds 160 degrees, it separates, so do not use your microwave.
