Cheesecake, Cranberry Marble

for the crust:
2 c. graham cracker crumbs
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/3 c. melted butter

for the cheesecake:
1 12oz. bag fresh cranberries
3/4 c. water
1/3 c. + 1 1/4 c. sugar, separated
2 16oz. pkgs. room temperature cream cheese
2 tsp. vanilla
4 eggs
2 c. room temperature sour cream, (1 pint)

Preheat oven to 350. Need a 9 inch spring form pan.
for the crust:
Mix the graham crackers and cinnamon together.
Add the melted butter and mix until well blended.
Press mixture into bottom and 2/3 of the way up the sides of the spring form pan.
Bake crust for about 6 minutes until set. Set aside.

for the cheesecake:
Combine the cranberries and water in a medium saucepan.
Using a medium heat, bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally;
until the cranberries pop and the mixture reduces to 1 1/4 c., about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the 1/3 c. sugar until dissolved.
Strain and let the puree cool completely.
Reduce oven temperature to 300.
Beat the cream cheese with the 1 1/4 c. sugar and vanilla at until smooth.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating until just blended.
Stir in the sour cream.
Spoon half the batter into the crust.
Drop 8 - 10 rounded teaspoonfuls of the cranberry puree, (about 1/3 of the puree) on the batter.
Spoon half of the remaining batter evenly over the first layer and dot with half of the remaining puree.
Repeat with the remaining batter and puree.
Try to space out the puree so one layer is not directly on top of the puree in another.
Use a plain butter knife and gently swirl it through the batter to make the marble, being careful not to touch the crust.
Place the spring form pan on a baking sheet and bake in the lower part of the oven for 1 hour.
Turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake in the oven for 1 hour longer, WITHOUT opening the door.
Transfer the cheesecake to a rack and let it cool to room temperature.
Then cover and chill overnight before serving.
Makes 8 - 10 servings.
