The dense, creamy richness of a New York cheesecake makes it the perfect
candidate for some kind of fruity foil. A ruby-colored, glazed strawberry
topping is the classic fruit accompaniment to New York cheesecake. This
topping is best served the same day it is made.
2 lbs strawberries, cleaned, hulled and cut lengthwise into 1/8 to ¼-inch slices
½ cup sugar
pinch salt
1 cup strawberry jam
2 tablespoons juice from 1 lemon
Feathery Pancakes & Strawberry Sauce

and oil. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites till stiff (tips stand straight). Fold egg
whites into flour mixture.
2. Spray griddle with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat griddle over medium
heat. For each pancake, pour about ¼ cup batter onto the hot griddle. Cook

edges.
3. Serve pancakes with Strawberry Sauce. Makes 5 servings

frequently, until dark and no longer frothy, about 3 minutes. Stir in lemon
juice; pour warm liquid over strawberries and stir to combine. Let cool, then
