The first recorded mention of cheesecake was during the ancient Grecian Olympic games in the occidental world. Cato the Elder wrote of cheesecake preparation in his farming manual “De Agri Cultura”. Modern cheesecakes resembles cakes previously used as offerings to gods in greek culture. The delicious desert spread across Europe from Greece like a sweet nectar, pausing briefly at kitchens along the way to bequeath its creamy recipe. Many, many years later (we’re talking centuries, here), the cheesecake made its way to American shores. Today, the most prevalent ingredient in cheesecakes is Philadelphia Cream Cheese. As the name implies, Philadelphia Cream Cheese was created in America. Cream Cheese, itself was created long ago, and no one can be sure who its creator might be. Philadelphia Cream Cheese was developed in 1872 by James L Kraft when he was trying to duplicate the French cheese, Neufchatel. In 1880, Philadelphia Cream Cheese was introduced to the market, and cheesecake was suddenly all too easy to bake, and by 1910, cheesecakes were a regular at the desert table.
Almost all modern cheesecakes in the United States use cream cheese; in Italy, cheesecakes use ricotta cheese and Germans use quark cheese. Dutch/Belgian-style cheesecakes are typically flavored with melted bittersweet chocolate. Belgian cheesecake includes also a speculaas crust (speculaas is a traditional Dutch-Belgian biscuit)
Ingredients
For the Cheese Cake:
1 cup Graham crackers crumbled
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
6 Philadelphia cheese
4 eggs
1 cup of sugar
1 tbsp vanilla
1/2 cup sour cream
baking spray with flour
For the glaze:
1 package frozen fruit of your choice
1 pint of blueberries.
1 cup red wine
1/3 cup sugar
10 oz jar jelly of your choice.
Instructions
1. Trace and cut out round of wax paper. Spray the pan with baking spray. Line the bottom of the pan and spray again with baking spray with flour. 
2. Grind Graham Crackers in food processor. Press in the Graham cracker crumbs. Sprinkle some on the sides of the cake pan. 
3. In the mixing bowl cream together, cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs one a time. Make sure you don’t have no lumps, then add the sour cream. 
4. Pour batter in the pan. Put the pan in a casserole dish and add hot water to the casserole dish. Water should be half way to the sides of the pan. Bake a 300F for 2 hours until top is golden and cake is set around edges. It’s okay when the center is jiggly. That will cook while it cools. Remove cake from roaster and set on cooling rack. Run knife around sides to loosen. Refrigerate overnight. 
5. For the topping you can use all kinds of fruits. In this case I used blue berries, and for the glaze I used mixed berries. To make the glaze you will need 1 package frozen fruit of your choice, 1 cup red wine, 1/3 cup sugar and 10 oz jar jelly of your choice. Combine the fruit, wine and sugar in saucepan over medium heat. Strain the fruit through a sieve. Return juice to sauce pan and reduce to at least half. Add the jelly until melted, and cool before putting on top of your cheescake. You can use this for several other different dishes which ask for fruit for instance you can use this with the griesmeel pudding.

It makes you wonder how in the world stuffed eggs became “deviled eggs”. what does the term “deviled” actually mean? The word “deviled” first appeared in print in 1786 and was used to describe highly seasoned fried or boiled dishes. By the 1800’s, the term “deviled” evolved and was often used as a culinary term to describe fiery hot spiced dishes or condiments. The use of the word was presumably adopted due to the symbolism of the devil and the excessive heat of, well, you know where. In the 19th century, the word deviled continued to be used to describe hot seasonings, more specifically cayenne or mustard, and again brought with it the connotation of that “hot spot down under”—something hot and spicy.
In modern language, however, the word deviled has a borader meaning and is typically defined as a food that is dark, rich, chocolate, spicily piquant or stimulating item and contains heavy seasoning. The term is deviled is used to describe eggs, crab, cakes, and many other dishes.
