Introduction

Mason jars hold a special place in my heart. I suppose it's because they remind me of the past, the countryside, the simpler life. They make the perfect little packaging for Mom's Cherry Cheesecake. Everyone gets one, which means no one has to share!

  • 4 eggs at room temperature
  • 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
  • 8 ounces sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups cherry pie filling
