- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 lbs cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 eggs

- Put cream cheese and sugar in food processor and whir until very smooth. Add all remaining ingredients except cranberry sauce. Process just until smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cream cheese mixture, and pour the rest over the crust.
- In small bowl or in food processor, combine the cranberry sauce and reserved cream cheese mixture. Mix until blended. Pour this mixture onto the top of the cheesecake in a spiral pattern. Using a chopstick or skewer, draw small circles along the cranberry spiral to form a swirl pattern.
- Place springform pan in a larger pan. Fill halfway with warm water to form a water bath. Bake 1 3/4 to 2 hours, until toothpick inserted in center comes out only slightly moist. Turn off heat and let cake cool in oven with door ajar for 1 hour. Remove cake and let cool completely.
