Swiss Cheese Fondue Recipe

Rub inside of earthenware casserole or fondue pot with garlic. (A metal fondue pot does not work well for this, it get's too hot)Place casserole in bottom of chafing dish, adding just enough water to cover bottom. (Or put fondue pot over candle type flame, or on it's electric burner set on low) Pour wine into casserole and heat to boiling point. Add cheese gradually; stir constantly until cheese is melted and well blended with wine. Blend flour or cornstarch with small amount of additional wine; stir into cheese mixture. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper. (May use small amout of white pepper instead of black) Stir in kirsch. Serve in casserole or fondue pot; dip bread into casserole with long fondue forks. Cognac or brandy may be substituted for the kirsch, but the kirsch is traditional.
