Sprinkle the Cheese Mixture Into the Pot a Large Handful at a Time, Stirring Each Batch in a Back and Forth Pattern So That the Cheese Doesnt Ball Up as It Melts. Continue Adding and Stirring Until All of the Cheese Is Melted, Smooth, and Thick, Adjusting the Heat as Necessary to Maintain Barely a Simmer. Stir in the Sherry and Season to Taste With Salt. (if Using a Saucepan, Transfer the Fondue to a Fondue Pot.) Set the Fondue Pot Over a Low Flame at the Table to Keep It Warm. Serve With the Dipping Ingredients. |
