Directions
To cook the fondue in front of guests, the following prior behind-the-scenes work is necessary.
Have the shredded or finely cut Swiss cheese (Emmenthaler) ready in a bowl.
Decant two cups of wine into a measure in the privacy of your kitchen.
By estimating the amount left in the bottle you'll know how much to pour.
The juice of half a fresh lemon will equal the amount needed for the recipe that follows, and squeeze the lemon juice directly from the lemon half.
Wrap the lemon in cheesecloth to prevent the pits from dropping in the pot.
If one isn't available, measure some bottled juice into a small container.
Kirsch should be ready to pour, and whichever spices you prefer to add.
You'll need a wooden spoon or fork for stirring, and don't forget to have the bite-size pieces of bread arranged neatly on a colorful napkin in a wicker basket.
All these things can be prearranged on a tray ready for the performance ahead.
