Instructions: CRANBERRY SAUCE: Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Gradually pour in the orange juice; stirring constantly. Add the cranberries and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat; stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer the mixture until all the cranberries have burst; about 15 minutes. Puree the mixture in a FP or a blender. Set sauce aside. CHEESECAKES:

1. Puree the cottage cheese in the clean blender or FP. Add the eggs and blend them into the puree. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the sugar, flour and baking powder; stir in well. Beat just ling enough to produce a smooth batter. Stir in the zest.

2. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat until water dances on hot skillet. Drop batter by generous Tablespoons and use the back of the spoon to spread the batter to a thickness of about 1/4". Cook until top is covered with bubbles; about 3 minutes and then flip and cook them until the second sides are light-brown; about 1 minute more. Keep warm.

3. Serve the griddle cheesecakes with the cranberry sauce. FRESH WAYS WITH BREAKFASTS & BRUNCHES; Time-Life Books
