Fondue is French for "melted" and you can make one at home easily, even if you don't have a fondue set. Just take your time stirring in the cheeses, allowing each addition to completely melt into the wine before adding more.
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese (2 ounces)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack-Colby cheese (4 ounces)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 clove garlic, cut in half
1/2 cup dry white wine or nonalcoholic white wine
2 tablespoons dry sherry, kirsch or nonalcoholic white wine
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Several dash red pepper sauces
French bread, cut into 1-inch pieces, or vegetable dippers
1. Toss cheeses and cornstarch until cheese is coated.
2. Rub garlic on bottom and side of fondue pot, heavy 1-quart saucepan or skillet; discard garlic. Add wine. Heat over simmer setting or low heat just until bubbles rise to surface (do not boil).
3. Gradually add cheese mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, stirring constantly with wooden spoon over low heat, until melted. Stir in sherry, ginger and pepper sauce.
4. Keep warm over simmer setting. If prepared in saucepan or skillet, pour into a fondue pot or heatproof serving bowl and keep warm over low heat.
5. Spear bread with fondue forks; dip and swirl in fondue with stirring motion. If fondue becomes too thick, stir in small amount of heated wine.
