Cheese Fondue

OhmsAndFarads had a lot of leftover cheese from an event last weekend, so the roommates decided to do fondue night. We were also going to do chocolate fondue, but ended up stuffing ourselves on cheese and did not get around to the chocolate. :P

We borrowed Elise's recipe for cheese fondue, with some extreme modifications.

Ingredients
Cheese Fondue
4 cups crumbled Gouda cheese
4 cups crumbled Colby jack
1 cup white wine
1 Tbsp lime juice
2 Tbsp corn starch
1 Tbsp brandy
herbs to taste (we used nutmeg, oregano, and pepper)

Dippings
Anything you want! We used celery sticks, sliced cremini mushrooms, sliced bread (cut into squares), and cubed Granny Smiths. Kabob skewers sufficed for dipping utensils.

1. Bring the wine and lime juice to a slow simmer. Over low flame, slowly add the cheese, stirring to keep it from burning.
2. When the cheese has melted, mix the brandy and cornstarch in a small bowl and add until the cheese is thick enough for fondue. Add herbs/seasonings to taste.
3. Remove to fondue setup. We used a can of Sterno fuel gel and propped a pot high enough off it to not burn the cheese instead of going out and buying a fondue set.
