Horst Magers Cheese Fondue Recipes

CHEESE FONDUE

Steps:

• Rub inside of a fondue pot with garlic; discard garlic. Pour cider or wine into pot, and place over medium-low heat. When liquid starts to bubble, start adding cheeses by the handful, stirring until melted and combined.
• Whisk together lemon juice and cornstarch in a small bowl until cornstarch dissolves; stir into cheese mixture. Continue stirring until mixture is smooth and bubbling slightly, about five minutes. Season with nutmeg and pepper.
• Transfer fondue pot to the table, and keep warm over the fondue pot warmer. Serve with bread and pickled vegetables.

AUTHENTIC ORIGINAL TRADITIONAL SWISS FONDUE (OLD WORLD RECIPE)

Steps:

• The optimal choice of pots is a steel or cast iron medium sized pot (2 quart) with an enameled interior.
• In a medium sized bowl, combine the three cheeses and toss with the flour.
• Rub the inside of the fondue pot with the garlic halves.
• Add the wine and heat over medium heat until hot, but not boiling.
• Stir in lemon juice and kirsch.
• Add a handful of cheese at a time to the wine mixture, stirring constantly and not adding more cheese until the previous has melted, bubbling gently and has the appearance of a light creamy sauce season with pepper and nutmeg.
• Remove the pot from the heat and place over an alcohol safety burner on the table.
• Adjust the burner flame so the fondue continues to bubble gently.
• Serve with plenty of crusty bread cubes.
