Jeanette's Cheesecake

This is an extremely old recipe created by an old polish neighbor of my grandparents. It has always been the cheesecake recipe my mom has used and I have used. You can serve it plain or make a strawberry glaze. Pictured below is with strawberry glaze which I have included the recipe for.

Ingredients for Crust:

• 14 full honey graham crackers
• 1 t cinnamon
• 1 Tb white sugar 
• 1/4 lb melted butter 

Use food processor and crush crackers. Mix cinnamon, sugar and melted butter and press firmly into a 9x13 baker.

Ingredients for Layer #1:

• 2 eggs
• 2 packages cream cheese
• 3/4 c white sugar 
• 1 Tb sour cream 
• 1 t vanilla 

Mix well, pour over crust. Bake at 350* for 25 minutes. Cool 15 minutes and then spread on layer #2.

Ingredients for Layer #2:

• 1 pint sour cream
• 2 Tb white sugar 
• 1 t vanilla 

Mix well, drop topping spoonful by spoonful and spread slowly on top of first layer and bake at 425* for 8 minutes. Cool and refrigerate.

Strawberry Glaze Ingredients:

• 2 pints chopped strawberries
