Ginger Spice Cheesecake

By: Campbell's Kitchen

"Cinnamon, nutmeg and a 'secret ingredient' make this mouth-watering cheesecake anything but ordinary. Cool and creamy with just the right amount of spice...it's absolutely irresistible!"

Original Recipe Yield 1 9-inch cheesecake

Ingredients

38 gingersnap cookies, finely crushed

3 tablespoons butter, melted

3 tablespoons sugar

3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

1 1/3 cups sugar

1 (10.75 ounce) can Campbell'sÃ¯Â¿Â½ Condensed Tomato Soup

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

3 eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Wrap aluminum foil around the outside of a 9-inch spring form pan.

2. Stir the cookie crumbs, butter and 3 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of the pan.

3. Bake for 10 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned. Remove the pan from the oven. Let the crust cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes.

4. Beat the cream cheese and remaining 1 1/3 cups sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is creamy. Beat in the soup, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract. Pour the batter into the pan.

5. Bake for 55 minutes or until the center is almost set. Let the cheesecake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

Footnotes

Cooking Basics: Place a baking pan filled with water on the rack below the cheesecake during baking. This helps prevent the top of the cheesecake from cracking.

Cranberry-Orange Trifle (from our local paper)
Cranberries and oranges are a terrific flavour combination. This attractive dessert can be made the night before and will serve at least a dozen people.

6 cups frozen cranberries (a 600 g bag---a little over a lb)
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 tsp minced, fresh ginger
zest of an orange
1-1lb slightly stale pound cake
4 tbsp orange liqueur
1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds
4 cups custard
1 1/2 cups whipped cream for garnish
orange slices for garnish

In a medium saucepan combine the cranberries, water, sugar, ginger and orange zest.

Bring to a simmer and cook until the cranberries have popped and the mixture is thick. Set aside to cool.

Tear the cake into bite-size pieces. Place half the cake on the bottom of the trifle bowl. Drizzle half the orange liqueur over the cake.

Spoon half of the cooled cranberry mixture over the cake followed by half the almonds. Spoon half of the custard over top. Repeat and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Pipe whipped cream and arrange orange slices over top before serving.

Ravencajun, just reading the description of how the roast looks and tastes is making me very hungry. I bought some bakery orange cranberry muffins and they were so good I've been looking for a recipe since. I tried one but it was to orange-y. Now I'll try this one and see how it works. Hey, it's Martha, dontcha' know? Orange Cranberry Walnut Bread 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature zest of 1 orange 1 cup sugar 2 large eggs 3/4 cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons orange juice 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups flour 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup cranberries, diced 1/2 cup roasted walnuts, chopped Preheat oven to 350Ã¯Â¿Â½F. In a small bowl, stir heavy cream, orange juice, and vanilla. In another small bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl beat butter, orange zest, and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time while continuing to beat. Alternate adding flour mixture and cream mixture until fully incorporated. Add cranberries and walnuts. In a prepared loaf pan or cardboard loaf pan, fill with batter until 2/3 full. Bake about 30 minutes in the oven until gold brown or until a toothpick come out clean when put in the center of the loaf. Let cool completely on a rack. Loaves can be wrapped in plastic wrap and stored on the counter for days or in the freezer for weeks. Yields 1 large loaf or 3 mini loaves.

That sure looks good Luckygardner!!! Shredded Maple-Mustard Brussels Sprouts (Canadian Living) Shredding the brussels sprouts completely changes the experience of eating them. Combining them with a mix of crispy pancetta and chewy sweet currants might just convert the staunchest of brussels sprouts haters. 2 lb (907 g) Brussels sprouts 8 oz (225 g) pancetta, diced 1/4 cup (60 mL) dried currants 3 tbsp (45 mL) maple syrup 3 tbsp (45 mL) grainy mustard 1/2 tsp (2 mL) pepper Trim ends of brussels sprouts; remove any discoloured leaves. In food processor and using slicing blade attachment, shred sprouts. Set aside. In large skillet or wok, cook pancetta over medium heat until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer to small bowl. Add sprouts to pan; cook until wilted, 8 to 10 minutes. Add currants, maple syrup, mustard, pepper and pancetta; toss to coat.

Since I have about 8 lbs. of ham left, I'm going to ground part of it to make ham loaf and thought ham balls would be good, what with all the Bowl games coming up this week. I found the recipe, but if any of you have one you use, I'd appreciate it. I like the idea of the cranberry sauce. HAM BALLS WITH CRANBERRY SAUCE (Cooking with Carla Renee) 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots 1/4 cup finely chopped celery 1 pound ground lean pork 1 pound ground smoked ham 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 cup fresh bread crumbs 1 egg, beaten Mix all ingredients together and form balls the size of walnuts. Make Glaze. Place on buttered baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Pour glaze over meatballs and continue baking an additional 10 minutes. Glaze: 1 16 oz. can whole berry cranberry sauce 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice 6 Tablespoons brown sugar 1 Tablespoon prepared mustard Mix all ingredients together.
