Italian Cheese Fondue

Ingredients

8 ounces grated Fontina
8 ounces grated Gruyere
5 teaspoons cornstarch
6 ounces thinly sliced pancetta, chopped
2 cups apple cider
Dippers of your choice


Preparation

Toss cheeses with cornstarch in a large bowl, and set aside.



Saute pancetta in large saucepan (or in fondue pot if it can go on the stove) over medium-high heat until crisp, about 8 minutes.


Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate. Pour off excess oil.


Pour wine in the same pan, and bring it to a boil.


Lower heat to medium, and whisk in the cheese a few handfuls at a time. Continue whisking until cheese is melted and fondue starts to bubble.


Stir in the pancetta, reserving a little bit to toss on top.


Transfer fondue to a fondue pot, and set it over a burner or candle. Sprinkle the remaining pancetta on top.


Skewer dippers of your choice and dip, swirl, and eat!
