List of Ingredients




Crust:
1 pkg. graham crackers (rolled to make crumbs)
2 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp melted margarine

Combine in small bowl. Press into a 10 inch spring form pan.

Filling:
3 (8 oz pkgs.) cream cheese (at room temperature)
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla flavoring
2 cups strawberry or raspberry preserves
2 Tbsp water
Red food coloring (optional)




Recipe



Blend the cream cheese 5-10 minutes in a large bowl until smooth (the longer the better). Add eggs, sugar and vanilla. Continue beating until thick; about 5 minutes. Pour half of filling over crust. Thin the preserves with the water to make it more spreadable. Add food coloring if desired. Drop preserves by small spoonfuls over filling in pan. Fill with remaining filling and preserves, stirring carefully to swirl, if desired. Bake in a preheated 375° oven for 35-45 minutes, until top is browned and center is set.

Topping:
8 oz sour cream
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp. vanilla flavoring

Combine and spread over hot cheesecake. Return to oven for five minutes. Cool 30 minutes on wire rack: then refrigerate 5 hours to overnight. Cut into thin wedges and serve garnished with a small amount of preserves, if desired.
