CREAMY CHEESECAKE WITH CRANBERRY COMPOTE
This cheesecake is a great make-ahead dessert. You can prepare the cranberry compote the night before and let it chill along with the cheesecake. The tartness of the cranberries is the perfect complement to the creamy richness of the cake.

Steps:
- Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- For the crust: Brush a 10-inch springform pan with some of the melted butter. Stir together the remaining butter with the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and 1 inch up the side of the pan. Use the back of a measuring cup or a drinking glass to pack the crust firmly and evenly into the edges of the pan. Bake until browned, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely, then set the pan on top of a large sheet of aluminum foil and wrap the foil around the bottom of the pan and up the sides. Place the pan on a baking sheet.
- For the filling: Beat the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the sour cream, and mix until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the cream and vanilla extract, and mix until just combined. Beat in the eggs one at time, beating the mixture after the last egg until just combined (take care not to overmix or the cake will turn into a souffle).
- Pour the filling in to the crust. Bake until the cheesecake is slightly golden and barely set in the middle when the pan is tapped, about 1 hour and 20 minutes (the cake might puff up slightly while in the oven, but that is okay; it will deflate as it cools). Turn off the oven, and leave the cake inside with the door shut for 1 hour. It will continue to set and color slightly in the oven.
- Run a thin knife or spatula around the cake to release it from the sides (this also helps reduce cracks in the top of the cake as it chills). Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- For the cranberry compote: Stir the sugar, dried cranberries and 1 cup water together in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then add the fresh cranberries. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the fresh cranberries have burst and the sauce is slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the compote to a heat-safe bowl and let it cool slightly before covering the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerating until it is completely chilled. The cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools. (This can be made up to one day in advance.)
- For serving: Spread the cranberry compote in an even layer on top of the chilled cheesecake. The cheesecake will sink a bit in the center as it cools so it creates a perfect well for the cranberry compote. Run a thin knife or spatula between the cake and the sides again, then release the sides of the springform pan and remove the ring from the cheesecake base. Set the base on a cake platter, slice and serve.
GRAND MARNIER CHEESECAKE WITH CRANBERRY TOPPING (THANKSGIVING)
Cranberry-Orange is my favorite flavor combination of the holiday season. I wanted to make a different cheesecake this year for Thanksgiving dinner, so I scoured the internet for the perfect Cranberry concoction. It was not to be found, so I pulled my favorite elements from about 6 different recipes, and bravely made the cheesecake for our annual "Friends Pre-Thanksgiving Dinner". What you have here is the divine results of that experiment. I'll be making it again in a couple of days for the real Thanksgiving, and I cannot wait! The orange zest for the cheesecake (not the candied garnish) comes to approximately the full zest of one large orange. Choose an orange with no blemishes on the peel. The cooking time does not include chilling 4 hours to overnight. Plan ahead! If it's springtime and you're craving this delicious cheesecake but don't want the cranberry topping, strawberries are an excellent garnish as well. After chilling the completed cheesecake overnight, run a small knife around the cake to release the sides and remove. Set cheesecake on serving platter. Arrange strawberries (4 cups, hulled), pointed ends up, atop cheesecake, leaving 1 inch border around outer edge. Stir 1/4 cup red currant jelly in heavy small saucepan over low heat until just melted. Mix in 4 teaspoons Grand Marnier; brush over berries. Prepare Grand Marnier Whipped Cream and pipe decoratively around outside of cheesecake; garnish with candied orange peel. I hope you enjoy it!

Steps:
- For crust: Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter 9 1/2 inch round springform pan. Mix all ingredients in bowl. Press mixture firmly onto bottom and up sides of pan to within 1/2 inch of top edge (I find it easiest to do this with a straight-sided and flat-bottomed scoop). Place pan on a heavy baking sheet and bake 10 minutes. Maintain oven temperature. Transfer crust to rack and cool completely. Set aside.
- For filling: Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese in large bowl until very smooth. Beat in sugar, Grand Marnier, cream, vanilla, and orange zest. Add eggs and yolks and beat just until blended. Pour filling into prepared pan. Bake until top puffs and is golden brown, about 50 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool 15 minute (cake will fall as it cools). Maintain oven temperature.
- Meanwhile, prepare topping: Blend ingredients in small bowl. Pour over cooled filling, spreading with back of spoon. Bake 5 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool completely. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Cranberry Topping: In pot, combine cranberries, sugar, marmalade, and Grand Marnier. Over medium heat cook til mix simmers and cranberries start to burst 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat, cool completely. Transfer to covered container and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Candied Orange Peel: Using vegetable peeler, cut peel from orange in 1 inch wide strips. Cut away any white pith from peel. Cut peel into 3 inch long 1/8 inch wide julienne. Blanch peel in small saucepan of boiling water 1 minute. Drain; rinse peel under cold water. Repeat blanching and rinsing of orange peel twice.
- Cook 1/2 cup water and sugar in heavy small saucepan over low heat, swirling pan occasionally until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and bring to simmer. Add peel and cook until glaze forms and almost all liquid evaporates, swirling pan occasionally, about 10 minutes. Transfer peel to waxed paper lined plate, separating each piece to prevent sticking. Cool completely. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature.).
- Remove cheesecake from fridge one hour before serving. Run a small sharp knife around edge of pan. Release pan sides. Set cheesecake on decorative platter. Carefully spoon Cranberry Topping atop cheesecake, leaving a 1-inch border around the outer edge.
- Using electric mixer, beat 1/2 cup chilled heavy cream in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Sweeten with 2 tsp powdered sugar and 1 1/2 tsp Grand Marnier, and beat to firm peaks. Spoon cream into pastry bag fitted with star tip, and pipe a decorative border around the outer edge. Arrange orange peel atop cream.
