Cheese Fondue

Apple Juice 

Gruyere Cheese

Emmentaler Swiss Cheese

Soft Mozzarella (opt.)

1 crushed garlic clove

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

cornstarch

french bread

italian sausage sauteed in onions (opt)

Toss grated cheese in 1 TB cornstarch. Put 1/4 cup of apple juice in a pot and bring to a simmer (not boiling) add 1/2 cup cheese, stir until melted, add another 1/2 cup cheese and stir until melted. Depending on how much fondue you want to have, alternate adding apple juice and cheese. Add more cheese or apple juice to consistency. A good ratio is 1 cup apple juice, 4 cups cheese.  Add in spices. The mozzarella makes it go farther is cheaper. Chop up your french bread and leave it over night. Stale bread is better because it gets soft with the cheese. Italian sausage is also good dipped in cheese.
