   1      pound         Gruyere cheese, coarsely grated
   8      ounces        Emmentaler cheese, coarsely grated
   4      teaspoons     cornstarch
   1                    garlic clove -- halved
   1 1/2  cups          dry white wine, preferably Neufchatel
   2      teaspoons     lemon juice
   1 1/2  tablespoons   kirsch, if desired
                        Freshly ground pepper
                        Freshly grated nutmeg, pinch


In a large bowl combine the cheeses and cornstarch and toss to coat. 
Rub
the inside of a heavy saucepan with the garlic and discard the 
garlic. Add
the wine and lemon juice and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir in the
cheese mixture gradually over moderate heat, stirring until smooth.

Stir in the kirsch, if desired. Season with pepper and nutmeg. Simmer
mixture for 2-3 minutes and transfer to a fondue stand set over a low
flame. Serve immediately, taking care to remember to continually stir 
the
fondue to prevent it from separating.
