Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 pound Gruyère, grated coarse (about 2 1/2 cups)
1/2 pound Emmenthal, grated coarse (about 2 1/2 cups)
1/2 pound Doux de Montagne, Havarti, or Vacherin Fribourgeois, grated coarse (about 2 1/2 cups)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 garlic clove, halved
1 cup dry white wine
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons Calvados
1/3 cup tomato onion chutney
Accompaniments: soft breadsticks with fennel seed
assorted cooked vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and pearl onions
cooked tortellini or tortelloni

Steps:

In a large bowl toss together well the cheese and the cornstarch. Rub the inside of a heavy saucepan with the garlic, leaving it in the pan, add the wine, 3/4 cup water, and the lemon juice, and boil the mixture for 1 minute. Stir in the cheese mixture gradually and bring the mixture to a simmer over moderate heat, stirring. Stir in the Calvados and simmer the mixture, stirring, for 2 minutes. Transfer the fondue to a fondue pot, swirl in the chutney, and set the fondue pot on its stand over a low flame. Serve the breadsticks, the potatoes, the vegetables, and the tortellini for dipping into the fondue. Stir the fondue often to keep it combined.
