Fondue Savoyarde Recipe

Rub a medium-size heavy pot with garlic; discard garlic. Add wine and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and gradually add cheese, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until cheese has melted. Do not boil.

Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until mixture has thickened, about 20 minutes. Add nutmeg, pepper to taste, and kirsch. Transfer fondue to a chafing dish or fondue pot.

Serve with bread cubes and fondue forks. Stir frequently. If fondue becomes too thick, stir in a little more dry white wine.
