SLOW COOKER SWISS FONDUE WITH KIRSCH

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Rub a nonreactive (enameled or stainless steel) saucepan with cut garlic halves. Add the wine and place the saucepan over medium heat.
• Heat the wine until it is just beginning to bubble. Reduce heat to low and add lemon juice.
• In a bowl, combine cheeses and flour; gradually stir into the wine. Continue cooking, stirring to keep from sticking, until cheese is melted and well blended.
• Grease the crock pot lightly or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Pour the cheese mixture into the prepared crock pot. Add kirsch; stir well. Sprinkle with nutmeg, pepper, and paprika.
• Cover and cook on the high setting for 20 to 25 minutes or until hot, then turn to the low setting for 1 to 3 hours. Keep the pot on low while serving.
• Serve your fondue with bread cubes or other dippers. Fondue dippers traditionally are cubes of a hearty bread such as rye, pumpernickel, or multigrain bread. But large, soft pretzels also make great dippers, and you can use crackers, especially if you don't have fondue forks. Besides bread items, offer dippers such as slices of apple and firm pears, steamed or roasted Brussels sprouts, fingerling potatoes, and artichoke hearts.

SWISS FONDUE

Steps:

• Combine Gruyère cheese, Emmental cheese, and cornstarch in a bowl. Mix until the cheese is evenly coated. Set aside.
• Rub the cut side of the garlic all over the inside of a fondue pot or heavy saucepan. Add wine and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then gradually add cheese and cornstarch mixture. Stir with a spatula, gently stirring in a figure-of-eight motion, until all of the cheese is added and the fondue is smooth and homogenous. Reduce heat to medium-low if the fondue is boiling too vigorously.
• Immediately serve fondue, preferably over a warmer. If you used a saucepan on the stove to heat the fondue, you can carefully transfer the fondue to a fondue pot to serve.

• Gradually add cheese mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly with wire whisk over low heat, until melted. Stir in kirsch.

• Spear bread and fruit with fondue forks; dip and swirl in fondue with stirring motion. If fondue becomes too thick, stir in 1/4 to 1/2 cup heated wine.
