Instructions: Rub an earthenware casserole or chafing dish or fondue pot with cut garlic.

Pour in wine and bring to a simmer over low heat; DO NOT BOIL. Gradually stir in cheese bits (grated cheese tends to lump). When melted, stir in corn starch that has been dissolved in Kirsh. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg; stir and bring to a simmer. Keep cheese bubbling lightly over LOW heat or it will toughen.

If it becomes too thick, add a little preheated wine. If it separates, add 1/2 teaspoon of corn starch dissolved in a little wine, then warm slightly.

Serve with bread cubes that guests can spear on fondue forks, then dip into the cheese mixture. Serve a tossed salad on the side and offer fruit for dessert. Accompany with Kirsh, neuchatel wine or beer.
