Goat Cheesecake With Vanilla- Meyer Lemon Marmalade

"This sounded like it would be a delicious cheesecake with a tart palate cleansing piquancy that would allow it to be served after a summer meal of Chesapeake steamed crabs & pickled shrimp. Mmmmm, summer is here! The cook time includes 140 minutes of chilling time as well so it is really not cooking forever! Please note I will chill this overnight to let the custard firm up & better develop its flavor. From an article on vanilla by Terra Brockman in Food & Drink, a weekly guide to enjoying eating from Tribune. Terra wrote, "Blackbird restaurant pastry chef Tim Dahl likes to use organic Bourbon vanilla from Singing Dog Vanilla, an Oregon firm, for this crustless cheesecake. The marmalade makes 2 1/2 cups; refrigerate for up to a week to use on toast, pancakes or waffles.""

directions

  • For the marmalade:

  • Heat a medium saucepan of water to a boil over medium-high heat. While the water is heating, remove the zest from the lemons in strips; cut away any white pith from the lemons. Cut the lemons into segments. Add the lemon zest to the boiling water; cook 1 minute. Drain; set aside to cool. Cut into small pieces; set aside.
  • Combine the lemon segments, 1 cup water, sugar, corn syrup, vanilla bean pod, vanilla seeds and salt in the saucepan; add the reserved lemon zest. Heat to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook at a simmer until thickened, about 40 minutes. Remove vanilla bean pod; discard. Set aside to cool, about 20 minutes. Refrigerate 2 hours.
  • For the cheesecake:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Wrap a 9 to 10 inch springform pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil, folding the edges of 2 pieces of foil to gether if necessary to make a sheet large enough to enclose the springform bottom & sides (this keeps water from leaking into the pan while the custard is cooking).
  • Combine the cream cheese, goat cheese and sugar in a large bowl; beat with a mixer on low speed until just smooth.
  • Add the sour cream, orange water and vanilla seeds, mixing until fully combined.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
  • Spoon mixture into a 9 1/2- to 10-inch springform pan.
  • Place pan inside a larger deep-rimmed pan.
  • Fill the larger pan halfway with hot water.
  • Bake until the cheesecake tests clean with an inserted knife, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Cool; slice in wedges. Top each with about 1 tablespoons of the marmalade.

<p>First about Buster: Buster moved onto whatever comes next on February 26, 2008. He was just shy of five years old. I miss him terribly. <br />He came into our lives when he ran out in front of my car late one night as I was driving home. A just under 4 pound ball of kitten fluff, complete with an ostrich boa tail that stayed straight up as he assessed his new domain. He became a 19 pound longhaired beast who guarded our house (he followed any new guests or servicepeople the entire time they are on the property) &amp; even killed copperheads (among other things with his hunting buddy, Fergus the short-tailed)! Friends never saw his formidible side as he smiled at them &amp; uttered the most incongruent kitten-like mews as he threaded legs! He liked to ride in the car &amp; came to the beach. <br />There are Buster-approved recipes in my offerings - however, HE decided which he wanted to consider - Buster demonstrated he liked pumpkin anything - ALOT -LOL!!! <br /> <br />Copperhead count 2006 - Buster 2 <br /> (10 inchers w/yellow tails) <br /> 2007 - Buster &amp; Roxie 1 <br /> (a 24 incher!) <br />Buster woken from beauty sleep - <br />http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/62264/DSCN0335.JPG <br />Big whiskers - <br />http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/62264/DSCN0333.JPG <br /> <br />For those of you who gave kind condolences - thank you so very much. <br />http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=250301 <br /> <br /> <br />I love to cook &amp; incorporate techniques from Southern/Mid Atlantic roots (grits, eastern NC BBQ shoulders, Brunswick stew, steamed crabs &amp; shrimp &amp; shellfish, hushpuppies, cornbread, greens, shad roe, scrapple) with Pacific Rim foods &amp; techniques aquired while living in Pacific Northwest, fish &amp; game recipes learned while living in Rocky Mountain region &amp; foods/techniques learned travelling to the Big Island &amp; up into BC &amp; Alberta &amp; into the Caribbean. The Middle Eastern/African likes I have are remnants of my parents who lived for many years in North Africa &amp; Mediterranean before I was thought of. Makes for wide open cooking! <br /> <br />Since moving back east we try to go annually in the deep winter to Montreal (Old Montreal auberges &amp; La Reine) &amp; Quebec City (Winter Carnival &amp; Chateau Frontenac)- for unctuous foie gras &amp; real cheeses, French &amp; Canadian meals prepared &amp; served exquisitely, fantastic music &amp; wonderful people - with the cold helping burn off some of the calories! <br /> <br />I love putting in our aluminum jonboat &amp; heading across the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) to the barrier islands for foraging &amp; exploring! Bodysurfing is a lifelong sport for me - one that a person's body never seems to forget how to do, once the knack is learned (thank goodness!) <br /> <br />I especially miss cool summers &amp; foggy/drizzly days &amp; fall mushroom foraging/anytime of year hot springing in WA, OR, MT, ID, BC &amp; Alberta.</p>
