Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 13x 9 inch pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over pan.

Mix crumbs, 3 tbs. sugar and butter, press firmly onto bottom of prepared pan and bake 10 mintes.

Beat cheese, 1 cup sugar, flour, and vanilla until well blended. Add sour cream, mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, just until blended. Pour over crust and gently drop spoonfuls of jam over batter, cut through batter with a knife for a marble effect.

Bake 40 minutes; cool completely. Lift cheesecake using foil handles and cut into 16 pieces.
