Ingredients
- 1 garlic clove, halved crosswise
- 1 cup dry white wine (250ml)
- 1 tbsp corn starch (15ml)
- 1 cup Verjus (250ml)
- 4 cups shredded Niagara Gold
- 1 loaf of Vinifera bread, or your choice, cut into 1 inch cubes
- Fondue pot
- Fondue forks
Instructions
- Rub the inside of a 4 quart heavy fondue pot with the cut sides of the garlic to flavour the pot. Discard garlic.
- Add the wine and ¾ cup Verjus to the pot and bring to a mild simmer over medium heat. In a separate small bowl mix together the cornstarch and the remaining Verjus.
- Gradually add cheese to the wine pot and cook, stirring constantly in a zigzag pattern (not in a circular motion) this is done to prevent the cheese from clumping, do this until the cheese is just melted and creamy; do not allow this mixture to boil.
- Stir cornstarch mixture again and then stir into fondue. Bring fondue to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened - about 5-8 minutes.
- Transfer cheese fondue mixture to a fondue pot set over flame and serve with cubed bread for dipping.
