Cheese Fondue

This recipe is a fond memory for me growing up. I remember my mom having a fondue pot and I remember her getting it out and us having this fondue, occasionally. It has now become one of our family traditions to have this fondue for New Year's Eve or on New Year's Day.

1 Pound Swiss Cheese, Grated
1 Pound Mild Cheddar Cheese, Grated
6 Teaspoons Flour
1/2 Clove Garlic Cut in Half
2 Cups White Grape Juice
2 Pinches Nutmeg and Pepper
Wooden Spoon
Breadsticks (We always use the kind in the can)
Vegetables (carrots, cauliflower, celery, broccoli), cut in bite-size pieces
Raw Hot Dogs Cut in bite-size pieces

Grate cheese and place in a bowl. Toss the grated cheese with the flour. Rob the fondue pot and wooden spoon with cut garlic. Pour the white grape juice in the fondue pot. Heat, but do not boil. Add cheese. Stir until melted. Add seasonings and serve. Eat by spearing bread or vegetables on forks and dipping into mixture. YUM!
