below is a recipe that always works for me. The key is to not bring the sauce to a boil. That causes the oil to separate from the cheese.



Ingredients

1/2 pound imported Swiss cheese, shredded

1/2 pound Gruyere cheese, shredded

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 garlic clove, peeled

1 cup dry white wine

1 tablespoon cherry brandy, such as kirsch -can be omitted

Pinch nutmeg



Directions

In a small bowl, coat the cheeses with cornstarch and set aside. Rub the inside of the ceramic fondue pot with the garlic, then discard.



Over medium heat, add the wine and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually stir the cheese into the simmering liquid. Melting the cheese gradually encourages a smooth fondue. Once smooth, stir in cherry brandy and nutmeg.Cheese fondue help I need help to make a good one this year?
Hi: To keep a cheese fondue from separating, I sprinkle in some ''Wondra'' sauce and gravy flour and stir that in with a fork. Keep adding the flour a bit at a time until fondue is creamy and no longer separated. Leftover fondue made this way can also be refrigerated and gently re-heated when you want it.



Combinations include: Swiss cheese and white wine with a couple of dashes garlic powder

Cheddar and beer (pale ale)

Nice served on crusty bread cut in chunks.Cheese fondue help I need help to make a good one this year?
I use cream cheese and old english cheese, garlic salt and add crab or lobester meat and dip with french bread...keep it in a fondue pot or slow cooker or double boiler works great
