--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2       c            Natural Swiss cheese; shredded
  2       c            Gruyere cheese (8 oz); shredded
  1       tb           Corn starch
  1       cl           Garlic, cut into halves
  1       c            Dry white wine
  1       tb           Lemon juice

    1/8   ts           White pepper
                       French bread; cut into 1" cubes

 Toss cheeses with corn starch until coated. Rub garlic on bottom
 and side of heavy saucepan or skillet and add wine. Heat over low
 heat just until bubbles rise to surface (wine should not boil).
 Stir in lemon juice. Gradually add cheeses, about 1/2 cup at a
 time, stirring constantly with wooden spoon over low heat until
 cheeses are melted. Stir in kirsch, salt and white pepper. Remove
 to earthenware fondue dish and keep warm over low heat. Spear bread
 cubes with fondue forks and dip and swirl in fondue with stirring
 motion. If fondue becomes too thick, stir in 1/4 to 1/2 cup heated
 wine.

 NOTE: An additional 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese can be substituted
 for Gruyere cheese.
