Dutch Cheese Fondue

Ingredients (for 800 grams of fondue)

• 1 clove garlic
• 400 ml dry white wine
• 800 g freshly grated mature Gouda cheese
• 1 tbsp corn flour
• 2 tbsp dry white wine
• Salt & pepper
• 2 tbsp kirsch (optional)

Preparation

1. Cut the clove of garlic in half and rub the cut sides along the inside of a fireproof cheese fondue pot or a saucepan. Pour 400 ml of white wine into the pan. Heat it until it’s just at the boil. Turn down the heat and stir in the grated cheese. Keep stirring until the cheese is fully melted.
2. Mix the corn flour with two tablespoons of white wine and pour the mixture into the melted cheese, stirring continuously until the fondue thickens. Salt and pepper to taste. Add the kirsch if desirable.
3. Serve the fondue in a cheese fondue pot and place it on a heating base to keep it warm at the table. Then get to dipping with slices of fresh white or whole wheat bread and/or raw vegetables.
