Glistening Orange Cheesecake 3/4 cup finely crushed graham crackers 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans 1/2 cup butter, melted 1/4 cup sugar 3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened 2/3 cup sugar 3 eggs 1-1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel 1/3 cup orange juice 1/2 cup orange marmalade 1/4 cup white grape juice or orange juice 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur 2 teaspoons cornstarch 1-1/4 cups seedless grapes, halved
For crust, in a bowl, stir together crushed graham crackers, flour, pecans, butter, and the 1/4 cup sugar. Press onto bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Place on a shallow baking pan in oven. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 8 minutes. Meanwhile, for filling, in a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and the 2/3 cup sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy. Add eggs, orange peel, and orange juice all at once, beating on low speed until just combined. Pour over baked crust. Bake in 350 degree F oven 35 to 40 minutes or until center appears to be nearly set when you shake it. Cool for 15 minutes. Loosen from sides of pan. Cool 30 minutes more; remove sides of pan. Cool completely. Cover; chill 4 to 24 hours. At least one hour before serving, prepare glaze: In a saucepan, combine marmalade, grape juice, orange liqueur, and cornstarch. Cook and stir until bubbly; cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Chill. Just before serving, arrange grapes atop the cheesecake. Spoon glaze over grapes.
