Method

Heat a fondue pot or a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat and pour in wine. When the wine is about to boil, add the two cheeses, a little at a time. Stir continuously till all the cheese has melted. Keep cooking and stirring over very low heat till you get the desired consistency. Add the nutmeg powder and kirsch.

To serve, put the pot on a small stove and place bowls of the accompaniments alongside some fondue forks.
