Yield

Total Time
20 minutes
Ingredients
1-1/2 cups dry white wine
3 garlic cloves, minced

Kosher or sea salt
Freshly ground white pepper
Instructions
In a medium-size saucepan over high heat, bring wine, garlic, and bay leaves to a boil; then lower to a simmer.
Slowly whisk in cheese, a little bit at a time, letting each new handful fully incorporate before adding more. Simmer gently 3 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water; then whisk into cheese mixture.
Continue whisking until slightly thickened. Season to taste with salt and white pepper. Discard bay leaves.
Transfer to a fondue pot. Serve with chunks of crusty bread and fruit.

My kids loved fondue! We used crusty bread and black olives and ham with cheddar cheese!1960=1980!
There was no way 2 T of water could mix into 5 T of cornstarch. It was too much cornstarch for that amount of water. I added more water to be able to mix it, but then I did not add anywhere near all of it to the fondue. The fondue was ok, but because of the cornstarch was very grainy instead of creamy. We threw 1/2 of it away, and we love fondue.
Worst fondue ever!!!! So salty and agree with prior person water and cornstarch in wrong proportions. Threw it all out. What a waste. Someone should check these recipes before u put on internet!!!!
What I do when making fondue is I toss the grated cheese with the cornstarch or a little flour and then it blends in as I whisk the cheese into the wine. Never grainy and delish!!
where can I buy cheese
