Fondue is Swiss and there so many simple variations on it. You can make it with white wine, beer, apple cider... We made it last night for Valentines and used white wine, garlic, Greyere and Ementhal cheeses. Topped with a sprinkle of Nutmeg and black pepper. My hubby also makes it with apple cider and curry powder and it is super delish!



**Dip toasted bread, chopped apple, lightly steamed broccoli or other veggies in it.
