With our busy schedules, my wife and I were having a hard time getting some "we" time in on our anniversary. So I cleared my afternoon, picked up flowers and gifts, and decided to try my hand at fondue.

I took the boys to soccer so she could get caught up on some work. Once the boys were in bed, I got the fondue going, unsure of how it would turn out. It could not have been better! We both loved it and it was quicker and easier that I imagined. This is a great idea for a winter dinner party.

Steps

20 mins

1

Shred the cheese and combine with the corn starch in a gallon plastic bag. Shake up the bag to coat the cheese (this will help with the consistency).
2

Slice the garlic cloves in half and rub the inside of a medium (4 qt.) sauce pan.
3

Add the wine and lemon juice to the pan and bring to a slight simmer over medium heat.
4

Stirring constantly, add the cheese in gradually, a bit at a time. Do not let the cheese boil! After all the cheese has been melted, add the mustard, scotch, and nutmeg.
5

Add to the fondue pot and serve with dippers!
