1 pound Gruyere cheese, coarsely grated
8 ounces Emmentaler cheese, coarsely grated
4 teaspoons cornstarch

2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons kirsch, if desired
Freshly ground pepper

In a large bowl combine the cheeses and cornstarch and toss to coat.
Rub
the inside of a heavy saucepan with the garlic and discard the
garlic. Add
the wine and lemon juice and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir in the
cheese mixture gradually over moderate heat, stirring until smooth.

Stir in the kirsch, if desired. Season with pepper and nutmeg. Simmer

the
fondue to prevent it from separating.
