Whether you prefer shrimp and asparagus or lesley stowe raincoast crisps® cranberry and hazelnut with salami, a night gathered around a pot of fondue is a night well spent.

Directions
  • STEP 1: Rub interior of a medium stainless-steel pot with garlic clove, then discard garlic. Add white wine and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add Emmental and Gruyère cheese and nutmeg. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until cheese melts (cheese and wine will not yet be blended).
  • STEP 2: Combine cornstarch with kirsch in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly and stir into cheese mixture. Continue to stir and simmer until cheese mixture becomes smooth, about 5 minutes, then season with salt and freshly ground pepper, adding up to ¼ cup more wine if fondue is too thick.
  • STEP 3: To serve, transfer to a fondue pot or chafing dish over a flame.
