Artisanal Stilton Fondue Recipes

SWISS CHEESE FONDUE WITH ENGLISH STILTON

Steps:

• Rub the garlic vigorously on the inside of a saucepot. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and add the Emmenthal and the Gruyere to the pot. Heat until all of the cheese is melted, stirring slowly and continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
• In a separate bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the kirsch and add to the cheese mixture. Season with pepper and nutmeg, and continue to stir until the fondue is smooth. Remove the fondue from the heat and transfer into a fondue pot. Add the Stilton and fold into the fondue. Install the fondue pot in its stand and light the flame.
• Serve with French bread cubes. Dip the bread in the fondue and enjoy. It is important to stir the fondue occasionally to keep it smooth.

AUTHENTIC ORIGINAL TRADITIONAL SWISS FONDUE (OLD WORLD RECIPE)

Steps:

• The optimal choice of pots is a steel or cast iron medium sized pot (2 quart) with an enameled interior.
• In a medium sized bowl, combine the three cheeses and toss with the flour.
• Rub the inside of the fondue pot with the garlic halves.
• Add the wine and heat over medium heat until hot, but not boiling.
• Stir in lemon juice and kirsch.
• Add a handful of cheese at a time to the wine mixture, stirring constantly and not adding more cheese until the previous has melted, bubbling gently and has the appearance of a light creamy sauce season with pepper and nutmeg.
• Remove the pot from the heat and place over an alcohol safety burner on the table.
• Adjust the burner flame so the fondue continues to bubble gently.
• Serve with plenty of crusty bread cubes.
