I love Cheesecake! My dear friend Joannie wouldn't eat Cheesecake. When I asked her why, she said, "Who would eat a cake with cheese in it?" I had to laugh and say to her. Well, you like cream cheese and sour cream don't you? She said, yes! I told her well, "That's what cheesecake is make with!" We laughed and she order a piece of Cheesecake. From then on it was one of her favorite desserts.

    I love adding golden raisins, currants, or any dried fruit cut in to small pieces. Soaked first in hot water or alcohol to plump them and make them tender. Sometimes I just use candied orange or lemon peel chopped very fine.
