Gradually add cheeses, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly with
wooden spoon over low heat until cheeses are melted. Stir in kirsch, salt
and white pepper. Remove to earthenware fondue dish and keep warm over low

wine. NOTE: An additional 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese can be substituted
for Gruyere cheese.
