Swiss Cheese Fondue

Since we all like The Melting Pot so much, I figured we needed a good fondue recipe on here. I love this and it's very simple to make. I prefer the swiss to the gruyere but you can do whatever you want.

1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
1 1/2 cups white wine
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 lb. gruyere or swiss cheese, cubed
1 tablespoon corn starch
dash of grated nutmeg

Rub a large saucepan and a fondue pot with the garlic clove.

Add the white wine to the saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir in the lemon juice.

Toss the cheese cubes with the cornstarch, coating the cheese well. Start slowly, adding the cheese to the simmering wine, stirring constantly. Do not let the mixture boil. Add the nutmeg and continue stirring until the texture is smooth.

Pour the mixture into a fondue pot. Serve with cubes of French bread, sliced apples and vegetables (well ... we don't usually use these :).
