Since I'm the vegetarian in the family, this is my cheese fondue recipe. However, since the others eat meat, click here for some sauce recipes for dipping fondued meat into.

Be careful with this in the fondue pot! It burns very quickly! Make sure to use real wine and not the cooking wine!

Ingredients

1 pound shredded Swiss cheese (since I don't like Swiss I use 1/2 pound of mozzarella and 1/2 pound of american)
2c white wine
2T Lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1tsp white pepper
1T cornstarch
1tsp dry mustard
1 small clove of garlic

The Preparation

• In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of the white wine with the lemon juice. Slowly add the cornstarch and whisk until dissolved.
• In a medium sauce pan, combine the cheeses with the spices. Slowly melt the cheese while stirring constantly.
• Once the cheese has melted, add the wine mixture. Again, stir constantly until the sauce is well mixed.
• Let simmer for a few minutes. Before adding the cheese mixture to the fondue pot, add the remaining 1 cup of wine to the bottom of the fondue pot. Then transfer the cheese to the pot.
• You can dip veggies or bread into the cheese sauce.
