Fondue Vudu

Directions

1. 1
   Rub inside of fondue pot or heavy small saucepan with garlic. Pour cider into pot. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, the brandy and salt and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
2. 2
   Meanwhile, grate the cheese and toss well with the cornstarch in a large bowl. When the cider just begins to simmer, gradually add the cheese a handful at a time, allowing each addition to melt completely before adding the next. Continue adding cheese and stirring until all cheese is incoporated, about 3 minutes. If mixture starts to bubble, reduce heat to low. Mixture is ready when creamy and easily coats the back of a spoon. Stir in curry and pepper. If cheese seems stringy, add some or all of remaining lemon juice.
