Ingredients: fresh or frozen cranberries sugar cornstarch graham cracker crumbs sugar butter kosher salt cream cheese condensed milk vanilla extract fresh lemon juice

1. For cranberry topping combine one-third cup sugar and one tablespoon cornstarch in small saucepan over medium heat. Mix well. Add one half cup plus two tablespoons cold water and two cups cranberries; stir to combine.

4. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a nine-inch springform pan. Place the pan in the fridge to chill while you make the cheesecake filling.

5. Add the cream cheese to a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer for a few minutes or until it's smooth, light, and fluffy. Add the sweetened condensed milk , vanilla extract and lemon juice and beat until the mixture is smooth with no lumps.
