INSTRUCTIONS
TOPPING
Recipe by: Sue Klapper In a bowl, combine crumbs and butter. Press gently
into the bottom of 12 paper-lined muffin cups. In a mixing bowl, combine
cream cheese, vanilla, lemon juice, sugar and egg; beat until smooth. Spoon
into crusts. Bake at 375 for 12 to 15 minutes or until set. Cool
completely. Drain cherries, reserving 1/2 cup juice in a saucepan; discard
remaining juice. To juice, add cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and food
coloring if desired. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally; boil for 1
minute. Cool; spoon over cheesecakes. Chill for at least 2 hours.

NOTES : Instead of topping, for a quick and easy alternative, we use canned
cherry pie filling.
