Instructions: RITA TAULE (BTVC62A) In a small bowl, combine raisins with rum. Marinate at least 2 hours. Combine crust ingredients. Press into the bottom of a lightly greased 10-inch springform pan. Preheat oven to 350F. For filling, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla. Beat in eggs and yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition. Drain raisins, reserving rum. Stir rum and cream into cream cheese mixture. Stir in raisins. Pour filling over crust. Place springform pan in a larger pan and add water to larger pan to come halfway up side of springform pan. Bake 1-1/2 hours or until center is set. Remove cheesecake from oven and pan of water and allow to cool completely. Cover and refrigerate overnight. To serve, use a knife to loosen sides of cheesecake from pan; remove springform.
