Cherries and Almonds are simply meant to go together, and combine beautifully in this Cherry Almond Cheesecake. Use pitted fresh cherries if in season, or substitute frozen or canned dark sweet cherries. The cherries are cooked with butter and sugars then spiked with delicious Amaretto liqueur, and create the bottom layer of the cheesecake. The almond filling is spiked with a little more Amaretto along with sliced almonds for great almond flavor.
