- Add vanilla and yogurt and mix just until well blended (don’t overmix).

- Add LC-Cranberry Sauce or LC-Preserves.
- Add remaining 1/2 cup of filling and swirl in fruit with a fork to look nice.
- Place cheesecake onto another pan with sides and place into oven.
- Carefully pour 2-3 cups of very hot water into outer pan until the water is about 1/3 the way up the spring-form pan.
- Bake at 325 degrees F for one hour.
- At the end of hour, turn oven off and leave cheesecake in oven for 1 more hour. At no time open the oven door or disturb.
- When second hour is up, remove cheesecake from oven, remove foil and refrigerate until completely cooled, 4-6 hours.
- Remove spring-form sides and enjoy!
