BEST FORMULA THREE-CHEESE FONDUE
We tried a couple of recipes; this was voted the best! The Gruyere gives a very sweet and nutty flavour to the fondue, the sharp Cheddar makes it tangy, and the Emmentaler blends it all. Cooking the flour first helps the mixture not to be so pasty and powdery.

Steps:
- Pour the wine and lemon juice into a heavy-based pan over a medium-low heat and warm until steaming. Add all of the cheese, a handful at a time, whisking between each addition until all the cheese has been added. Continue to stir for 4-5 mins until everything is fully melted, smooth and creamy. Mix the cornflour with the kirsch in a small bowl, then stir this into the cheese mixture. Continue to cook over a low heat for a minute more.
- Rub the garlic on the inside of the fondue pot, if you like, then carefully pour the cheese mixture into the pot and immediately place it over the flame. (If you don't have a fondue set, add the garlic along with the wine in step one, then remove and discard it before you add the kirsch mixture.) Serve immediately with crusty bread, boiled new potatoes, vegetable crudités or cornichons for dunking, if you like. You can place the fondue back over a low heat if you need to reheat it after serving.

Steps:
- Mix a teaspoon or so of the flour with the cheese.
- Melt butter in a saucepan.
- Mix in flour.
- Gradually add beer, then Accent, salt, mustard and worcestershire sauce.
- Stir occasionally until sauce thickens and comes to a slow boil.
- Add cheese and stir until melted.
- Serve with bread cubes, veggies and whatever else you love with cheese.
Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your fondue. Look for a cheese that is smooth, creamy, and has a good melting quality. Swiss, Gruyère, and cheddar are all good options.
- Grate the cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese contains cellulose, a type of fiber that can make your fondue grainy. Grating the cheese yourself will give you a smoother, creamier fondue.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot. This will help to prevent the fondue from scorching.
- Cook the fondue over low heat. This will help to prevent the cheese from curdling.
- Stir the fondue constantly. This will help to keep it smooth and prevent it from sticking to the pot.
- Add a little bit of cornstarch or flour. This will help to thicken the fondue if it is too thin.
- Season the fondue to taste. You can add a variety of spices and herbs to your fondue, such as garlic, onion, nutmeg, and paprika.
- Serve the fondue with a variety of dipping options. Some popular options include bread, vegetables, and fruit.
Conclusion:
Fondue is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for a party or a romantic dinner. With a little bit of planning and preparation, you can easily make a delicious fondue at home. So next time you are looking for a fun and easy meal, give fondue a try.
