Step 1

Rub the inside of the fondue pot with the halves of garlic.

Step 2

Add the wine and lemon juice to the pot and heat until boiling. Lower the heat and gradually stir in the cheeses until melted, stirring all the time.

Step 3

If using kirsch, blend with the cornflour, otherwise use water. Add to the cheese mixture and cook gently until the mixture is smooth - don't let it boil or it will burn.

Step 4

Using the fondue prongs, dip the bread cubes into the cheese and serve.
