Everyone will enjoy this nutty, full-flavoured cheese fondue. For a milder, sweeter taste, try the Cheddar and Emmenthal variation. For the best results, make the fondue in a fondue pot directly on the stove top then transfer it to the burner at the table. 

Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic, halved
  • 1 cup unsweetened apple cider
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 12 oz 5-year-old Canadian Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 8 oz Canadian Oka cheese, shredded
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Preparation

Rub cut sides of garlic all over inside of fondue pot or heavy-bottomed saucepan. Pour in all but 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the cider, lemon juice and 1/4 cup (50 mL) water; bring to simmer over medium heat.

Add Cheddar and Oka cheeses; stir with wooden spoon until melted, about 7 minutes.

Stir in mustard, cayenne and nutmeg. Dissolve cornstarch in remaining cider; whisk into fondue. Bring to simmer, stirring; simmer for 1 minute.

Place over medium-low heat of fondue burner on table, adjusting heat as necessary to maintain low simmer and stirring often.
