Preparation

In a fondue pot over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the shallot and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine, cranberries and rosemary and simmer about 3 to 4 minutes or until reduced to 1/3. Add shredded cheeses and corn starch. Let melt over low heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon. Add pepper to taste. Serve at once with different breads, but also cured meats, vegetables, fruit, nuts, etc.

Tips

For a more kid-friendly alternative, replace white wine with chicken broth or unsweetened apple or white grape juice. Recipe can be prepared in the microwave oven at low intensity.

For tasty alternatives, try this with Canadian Raclette, Provolone or Emmental.
