What You’ll Need:

• 20 oz. The Night Walker, shredded

• 1 cup Chardonnay

• 1/4 plus 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1 Tablespoon J. Henry & Sons Bourbon

To Make the Fondue:

1. In a heavy bottomed pot, heat the wine over medium-high heat.  When tiny bubbles begin to form, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the shredded cheese one handful at a time, stirring gently with a wooden spoon.

2. Continue cooking the cheese until it is melted, smooth, and fully incorporated into the wine.

3. Stir in the cinnamon and the bourbon.

4. To serve, light the candle or burner of the fondue pot.  Warm the fondue pot.  Pour the melted cheese into the warmed pot and serve with your accompaniments of choice.
