Followed the recipe exactly as it says and it turned out great! Great taste and consistency, and very easy! Thanks Jackie for the great recipe. :-)

I am so disappointed. People should not give it 5 stars if they change the way the recipe is prepared. I followed the recipe exactly as it says and it turned out horrible. The cheesecake grew taller than the pan, cracked a lot and turned brown on top. After reading the reviews and other more trustworthy recipes, I found out the oven was too hot (325 or 300 is ideal) and the ingredients should have been at room temperature (which the recipe doesn't call for). A water pan underneath would have been great as well. I am a great cook, but it's my first time making cheesecake and I didn't know these things, which is why I looked for a recipe well-tried with good reviews. Very misleading. Now i have to serve this at my daughter's birthday. Agh. Again, don't give a recipe 5 stars if you change the way it's prepared.

Soooo easy to make and delicious! I used frozen strawberries (I thawed them in the microwave first). Follow the instructions carefully and it will work great! Mine yield a large Mason jar (quart size), so about 4 cups of jam! Yummy!
