Ingredients

1 cup white wine I used Chardonnay
2 cups gruyere cheese shredded
1 cup white truffle cheese shredded
½ cup smoked monzerella cheese shredded
3 teaspoon raspberry or cherry liquor Grand Marnier or Kirsch*
2 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

Shred the cheese and set aside. Stir together the liquor and cornstarch & set aside.
Add the wine to a pot on the stove placed over medium heat. Then begin adding the cheese. Add one handful at a time waiting until the cheese melts completely before adding the next handful.
When all of the cheese has been added, whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Mix together well. Continue to simmer (do not bring to a boil!) over the stove for 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a fondue pot set over a flame when you're ready to serve.

Notes

*An entire bottle of liquor can be a bit of an investment. If you're not looking to spend $$'s you won't enjoy down the road, samples of many liquors are also available.

I purchase my cheese at Trader Joe's - their prices are affordable and they always have a great selection of specialty cheeses!
