  • 1 3/4 lbs cream cheese
  • 1 (24 oz jar) cherries, drained (keep the juice)

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Mix the butter, 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract with an eggbeater until creamy, then stir in 1 egg.

Bake the cheesecake on the bottom shelf of the oven for about 45 mins. With a palette knife, carefully loosen the cake from the edges of the cake pan, and leave the cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door open.
  3. Bring the cherry juice to the boil in a saucepan. Mix the cornstarch into a smooth paste with a little water, remove the cherry juice from the heat and stir the cornstarch into it. Simmer the mixture for 1 min, stirring constantly, then stir in the cherries. Let the mixture cool and serve the cheesecake with the cherries on top.
