Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Start to Finish Time: 30 minutes
Yield: about 6 cups
- 1-1/2 cups dry white wine
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 pound sharp Vermont cheddar cheese (such as Grafton or Cabot), grated
- 5 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2-1/2 tablespoons water
- Kosher or sea salt
- Freshly ground white pepper
In a medium-size saucepan over high heat, bring wine, garlic, and bay leaves to a boil; then lower to a simmer.
Slowly whisk in cheese, a little bit at a time, letting each new handful fully incorporate before adding more. Simmer gently 3 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water; then whisk into cheese mixture.
Continue whisking until slightly thickened. Season to taste with salt and white pepper. Discard bay leaves.
Transfer to a fondue pot. Serve with chunks of crusty bread and fruit.
