To serve 4

Ingredients:

  • 700g Appenzeller® SURCHOIX or EXTRA, grated
  • 300g Vacherin Fribourgeois AOC
  • 1-3 cloves of garlic
  • 400ml cider
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons of cornflour, dissovled in 1 small glass of kirsch
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of lemon juice
  • Ground pepper and nutmeg as desired

Method:

Rub the garlic clove around the fondue dish. Bring cider to the boil, then quickly add the grated cheese – a handful at a time – at medium heat while stirring continuously in a figure of 8 and bring to the boil for approx. 10 –15 minutes until a smooth cream is formed. To thicken, add the cornflour which has been mixed with kirsch and the lemon juice. Simmer the fondue for another 10 minutes while stirring continuously. Season with pepper, some nutmeg and paprika, and serve the fondue immediately while simmering on the rechaud.

Tip: The extended cooking time has been given intentionally. The fondue becomes much thicker, less stringy and the formation of a layer of fat on the top of the cheese is prevented.
