INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 cups graham cracker or shortbread cookie crumbs
  • 1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
  •  
  • CRANBERRY TOPPING:
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  •  
  • FILLING:
  • 4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

DIRECTIONS

  1. Combine crumbs and butter; press into the bottom of a 9-in. springform pan. Bake at 300 degrees F for 5-8 minutes. Cool. Meanwhile, for topping, combine water and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil 1 minute. Stir in berries; cover and reduce heat. Cook until most berries have popped, about 3 minutes. Add lemon juice. Press mixture through a sieve or food mill; set aside. For filling, beat cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until light. Gradually beat in sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Add lemon juice. Pour into crust; spoon 4 tablespoons topping on filling and "marble" with a knife or spatula. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes. Turn oven off; let cake stand in oven 2 hours. Remove from oven; cool. Pour remaining topping on top; refrigerate overnight.
