Serves: 4


Prep time: 20 minutes

FOR THE FONDUE

  • 250g Gruyère cheese
  • 250g French Vacherin
  • 1 tbsp corn flour
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 250ml grape juice or white wine
  • 2 cloves garlic, halved
  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cherry liqueur (optional)
  • ½ grated nutmeg
  •  

FOR DIPPING

  • Large toasted
  • sourdough cubes
  • Small hot left over roast potato
  • Small hot left over stuffing balls
  • Radishes
  • Wedges of apple and pineapple
  • Cornichons (small gherkins)

METHOD

  1. Warm the grape juice (if making for children) or white wine (if it's for adults) with the garlic cloves and lemon juice until it reaches the boil.
  2. Mix the corn flour with the water and whisk into the grape juice.
  3. Take off the heat and gradually stir in the French Vacherin and Gruyère, keep whisking until it’s melted and smooth. Add the nutmeg.
  4. Add the cherry liqueur (if you’re using it) and keep the cheesy sauce warm. If you have a 70’s retro fondue set - PERFECT!
  5. Using the fondue prongs, dip the different dippy stuff into the cheese and enjoy.
