recipe notes

Kirsch is a clear and colourless fruit brandy traditionally made from double distillation of morello cherries. If you can’t find kirsch, you can substitute with brandy or cognac.
Put the pot under water for an hour before using to help prevent the pot from cracking.
Place the pot over a tealight set when serving to keep the fondue hot.
