When the weather outside is foul, there's nothing better than settling down with a cozy pot of cheese fondue in good company. This fondue is made with a blend of cheddar and Gruyere cheeses, along with alcoholic cider, which infuses the cheese mixture with an apple-like flavor. For a more intense and complex flavor, stir in a spoonful of whiskey. Arrange various appetizers (baked potatoes, slices of bread, mushrooms, fruit, sausages) around the fondue and enjoy.
