ACCOMPANIMENT

For the cheesecake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10-inch springform pan and line with foil. Process cream cheese in a food processor until smooth. Add ricotta cheese and process just to combine. Add sugar and process to combine. With the motor running, add eggs, one at a time. Add lemon zest and vanilla and mix well.

Pour into prepared pan. Place in oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cheesecake cool in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

For the marinated fruit, place fruit in a large bowl and set aside. In a small saucepan, combine wine, sugar, orange zest, vanilla, and nutmeg and place over high heat. Bring mixture to a boil and cook, stirring only once, for about 5 minutes to thicken the syrup. Remove from the heat and allow to cool 5 minutes.

Pour syrup over fruit and allow to marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Serve with the cheesecake and softly whipped cream.

Serves twelve.
