Cider-Cheese Fondue

We make fondue every New Year's Eve.  This is a great non-alcoholic cheese fondue.  The cider does make it it a little sweet.  If you want a more savory version you can use chicken stock instead and a squeeze of fresh lemon instead.  One time we didn't have swisse or gruyere cheese and had to sub white american cheese in a pinch and it made the fondue super creamy and my kids LOVED it even more.

3/4 cup apple cider or apple juice
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded swiss cheese (or other cheese or your choice--my kids love white american for this)
1 T cornstarch
1/8 t pepper
dash of nutmeg
dash of paprika

In large saucepan or fondue pot bring cider to a boil.  Reduce heat to medium low.  In a separate bowl toss cheese with cornstarch and pepper; stir into cider.  Cook while stirring often 3-4 minutes or until cheese is melted.  Keep warm on low heat, staring as needed.  Serve with crust bread cubes, apples, pears, blanched broccoli and carrots.
