  1. Had a piece this morning of yesterday's efforts.
    Here it is:
    http://tinypic.com/mc91rd.jpg

    It was rather moist, not high. I liked the carmel-like glaze that the top
    became; very tasty.

    I note that some one recipe posted called for 200 degrees, after a 350
    start. One was 550? and then 200º. Mine was 400 and then 275. But when I
    turned off the oven, I put in my new thermometer (on the left side of the
    oven and not in the center) it registered 325º-350º.

    I had some German brand (not overly sweetened) blueberry preserves/jam and
    put a dab of it on my plate after eating half of the slice. I froze a few
    slices.

    We liked the taste and consider it not a failure.

  4. Beautiful! Very nice! I like cheesecake like this! Not very high, with no
    cream over!

    Dee, that is really nice looking! I think it is time to get my feet wet
    and try making a baked cheesecake. Very nice job 🙂

    Looks DE-lish... neatly sliced, plating is simple elegance... excellent
    presentation.

    Dee, it looks perfect! A complete success! BTW, in a 9-inch sprinkform
    pan, you need a recipe with 5 8-oz pkgs of cream cheese for it to be high.
    I posted one like that.

    How long did you end up leaving it in the oven to cool?

    Thanks for the cudos. I tried! Yes, I'm keeping your recipe for the 40 oz.
    Thank you.
    DH is planning dinner, keeping in mind MORE cheesecake.
    Dinner will be some sort of chicken breast curry recipe, he's searching the
    multitudes of recipes online. Basmati rice. Beet greens. Probably a TJ's
    unopened chutney - we'll have to hunt a bottle down here in what looks like
    a 1950's bomb shelter food storage area -- tee hee.

    Thanks, patches. With your cooking expertise and your great kitchen, you

    I forgot to answer
    WAYNE: I left it in the oven 3 hours to cool. Then put foil over the top,
    leaving it in the bain marie pan (no water) and rushed it to the
    refrigerator.

    Looking GOOD..
    By the way... as for topping.. I found "Comstock" brand pie
    filling..
    After using google,, it appears to be available world wide..
    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0004M0D6A/sr=1-10/qid=1137996092/ref=sr_1_10/002-3744216-3980812?%5Fencoding=UTF8&n=3580501&s=gourmet-food&v=glance
    Or just google +comstock+blueberry+pie

    Yes guys and girls.. I know anything in a can is BAD...
    But I haven't tried to make pie filling yet.. maybe this summer..
    The blueberry is great on NY (plain) cheesecake!
    One can is just right for a 10 inch cake..

    I've used it when I was in a hurry. It's a little bland for my taste, so I
    add about a half teaspoon almond extract and a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon
    to the cherry filling, and just the cinnamon and a little grated lemon
    rind to the bluebery filling. Perks it up.

    Thanks.. The cinnamon and lemon rind sounds like it would be good in
    the blueberry.. which is my favorite..
    At some time I'd like to get a good recipe from you for home made
    blueberry topping.. Home made may be twice the price though than
    this.. (yes I'm a tightwad) I get this for about $3.30 a can..

    Here's my Current late night project..
    4 key lime cheesecakes in the 7 and 8 inch cake pans.. 2 of each..
    http://i1.tinypic.com/mh9jme.jpg

    I am getting plenty of help though..

    That looks superb. I must have missed the earlier postings. Did you
    give the recipe, or did someone else?

    I just puree a cup or so of fresh or frozen blueberries, put them in a
    pan, add a little white grape juice or water (enough to cover the
    bottom of the pan) a dash of lemon juice and salt (tiny amount), and
    about 2T of sugar - let simmer for 5-10 minutes stirring constantly
    (until sugar is melted), and then thicken with a little corn starch
    mixed in cold water. Cook on low, stirring, until thickened. Throw in
    another cup and a half of whole blueberries, stir well, and remove from
    the heat. Stir to combine. Set aside and cool - serve warm or
    chilled.
