Instructions:

Rose Fondue

1 clove garlic, halved
8 ounces rose wine
4 ounces grated Gruyere cheese
8 ounces grated red-veined Cheddar cheese
3 teaspoons flour
2 teaspoons kirsch
Cubes of sesame-coated French bread

Rub the inside of the fondue pot with the cut side of the garlic. Add the wine and heat until bubbling, then gradually stir in the cheeses until melted, stirring frequently.

In a small bowl, blend the flour smoothly with the kirsch and stir into the cheese mixture. Cook for a couple of minutes until smooth and thickened, stirring frequently. Serve with cubes of French bread.
