SUGAR- FREE CHEESECAKE Recipe

Pre-heat oven to 350 : F.

Cover the outside of an 8" x 3" spring form cake pan with foil (to prevent cake mixture from leaking during baking). Spray the inside of the pan with nonstick cooking spray, then evenly sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs in the bottom; set aside. In a food processor with knife blade attached, blend the light cream cheese, reduced fat cottage cheese, unsweetened apple sauce, eggs, vanilla extract, grated lemon peel and salt until smooth. Carefully pour the cheese mixture over the graham cracker crumbs in the bottom of the cake pan. Bake for 45 minutes. With oven door closed and the oven switched off; let the cheesecake remain in oven for a further 30 minutes. Remove cheesecake; cool in pan on wire rack for 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate cheesecake at least 5 hours or until well chilled.

To serve, carefully remove cheesecake from pan. Spread the Smucker's Light/Sugar-free Strawberry Preserve on the top.

Slice strawberries; arrange on top of cheesecake .
