New York-Style Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake

My favorite dessert of all time, is cheesecake. For my birthday, I would much rather have cheesecake over any other type of cake. I have made it severel times, but I always like to find new recipes to try. I found this recipe by Kraft, and it is amazing!!

1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
3 Tbsp. sugar
3 Tbsp. butter, melted
5 pkg. (8 oz. each) Cream Cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
3 Tbsp. flour
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 cup Sour Cream
4 eggs
1/3 cup seedless strawberry jam

HEAT oven to 325°F. Line 13x9-inch pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Mix cracker crumbs, 3 Tbsp. sugar and butter; press onto bottom of pan. Bake 10 min.
BEAT cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, flour and vanilla in large bowl with mixer until well blended. Add sour cream; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended. Pour over crust. Gently drop small spoonfuls of jam over batter; swirl with knife.
BAKE 40 min, or until center is almost set. Cool completely. Refrigerate 4 hours. Lift cheesecake from pan with foil handles before cutting to serve.
YUM!!!
