Cheesecake is really popular in our family and I've made many over the
years, but I have a special request from a granddaughter to make one
this weekend. She is coming home Sunday and we're going to finally
celebrate Christmas with her, and that's what she wants. Since I have
never made one, I searched online and found two recipes that sounded the
best.

One is from the Taste Of Home site and the other is from allrecipes.com.
One uses 2 tbsp, real rum and the other uses 1/2 tsp. rum flavoring. The
one with the real stuff sounds better to me. Also one is baked in a pan
with water in it, after wrapping foil snuggly around the outside of the
pan, and I can't recall ever baking any cheesecake using that method.
What would the object of that be, and what difference would it make in
the cheesecake I wonder?

Has anyone here ever made a Eggnog Cheesecake, and if so, would you mind
sharing your recipe, if it turned out real good. I'd rather make
something tried 'n' true and know it will be tasty. Thanking you in
advance!
