Balsamic Cherry Cheesecake Recipe

The cheesecake itself is just a plain baked cheesecake, but the cherry topping certainly makes this recipe stand out from the crowd.

Balsamic cherries are very easy to make. Using fresh cherries, sugar, balsamic vinegar, cherry brandy (Kirsch) and a little corn starch to thicken, you simply combine over heat. Just mind not to over cook the cherries. The less you cook the syrup the redder the cherries remain.

The balsamic cherries are perfect on this cheesecake but work well on other cakes and treats, or even to jazz up plain ice cream.
