Cheese Fondue

Ingredients

1 lb. Swiss cheese, grated
3 Tbsp flour
1/2 clove garlic (optional)
2 cups dry white wine
1/4 cup cherry brandy
pepper
2 dashes nutmeg
French bread, crisped in oven and broken into hunks

Instructions

Rub pot or chafing dish with garlic. Dredge cheese with flour. (My dad tosses in a paper bag.) Heat wine on stove or over open Sterno flame till 150 degrees. (Bubbles of air rise at surface at 150 degrees.) Add cheese by handfuls, stirring until melted before each new addition. When all cheese has melted and mixture bubbles, add pepper, nutmeg and brandy. Take your time -- about 20 minutes to melt the cheese and add seasonings. Keep heat on the low side to prevent burning.
