WINE CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• Rub the inside of the fondue pot (or a casserole/chafing dish) with a clove of garlic. If using a chafing dish, add just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan in order to protect it.
• Dredge the diced cheese in potato flour and set aside.
• Pour wine in the dish and heat. When the wine is heated, add the coated cheese. Bring to a slow simmer, stirring with a wire whisk until the cheese is melted and well-blended with the wine. Season with grated nutmeg, salt, and pepper. When ready to serve, whisk in kirsch. Serve with bread cubes.

• Notes and Tips for a great fondue party:.
• Make sure that all meats and vegetables are chopped thin enough to cook quickly in the broth. For beef and chicken, I suggest no more than a centimeter in width and leave in broth for approximately 3 minutes. For fish, choose fillets that have more integrity such as salmon or tuna and slice pieces no larger than 1/4 an inch and leave in broth for approximately 4 minutes. Shrimp are great dippers as they only require shelling and deveining, but no pre-cutting.
• Any and all veggies are great in this broth. Like with the meat, it needs to be chopped thinly. I recommend precooking many veggies before using them as dippers. Many veggies are too hard in their raw form to cook in a timely manner in the broth. The easiest way to do this is to bring a pot of water to a boil. Add a generous amount of salt to the water. Add veggies and cook for 3-8 minutes depending on toughness of veggies. Transfer veggies to ice water and hold for 2-5 minutes. This partially cooks veggies, so they only need 3 minutes in the broth.
• If you are using meat dippers, I highly recommend putting them in the broth first, as they add flavor to the broth which will enhance the flavor of your veggies later.
• Also if you are including mushrooms as a dipper (which I highly recommend!) treat them like a meat. Do not precook them like other veggies, as the water they release during cooking will add flavor to the broth. I suggest that you add mushrooms early with the meats and allow them to cook for about 7 minutes. Mushrooms take longer, but if you are doing meats and veggies, they will be ready to eat about the same time as the veggies, and they are definitely worth waiting for.
• Above all, enjoy yourself, and have fun with your fondue!

CHEESE WITH WINE AND SHERRY FONDUE

Steps:

• Grate cheeses to thick shreds and combine in large bowl with flour. Set aside. Slice shallots thinly to equal about 1/4 cup. Rub heavy or cast iron fondue pot with clove of garlic. Place heavy pot or stove worthy fondue pot on low/medium heat. Melt butter and add 1/4 cup thinly sliced shallots and cook for 30 minutes until brown and caramelized. Add wine and sherry and wait until it bubbles. Add cheese one handful at a time and stir in figure eight movements until melted and smooth then add another handful and repeat until all cheese is melted and smooth. If too thick add 1/4 cup extra dry sherry and stir into cheese using same figure eight movements until combined thoroughly. Add nutmeg and finely chopped garlic and stir until mixed. Remove from stove and place in fondue pot or if already in fondue pot place it over lit fondue burner.
