Steamed red-skinned potato chunks, grilled or toasted Tuscan bread cubes and pear slices are all great for dipping in the melted cheese. Be sure to stir the fondue as you dip. Related: The Best Fondue Pots
I followed recipe and instantly remembered what REAL Swiss cheese fondue tastes like and the kirsch is essential to get the flavor really right. I used crushed garlic and added a little more and it turned out incredible! Thanks for a TRULY AUTHENTIC recipe! Everyone loved it and I love the kirsch!
I followed the recipe and I had to throw out the fondue because all I could taste was the Kirsch. It was so overpowering!!! Was disappointed that I had to waste so much expensive cheese.
A good Swiss home always has a bottle of kirsch on hand....... often taken as a shot with a piece of chocolate.......
Buying a $60 bottle of kirschwasster for two spoonfulls of kirsch is insane. I'd like to see recommendations for alternatives -- cognac, dry vermouth, cherry brandy, pear brandy or whatever.
