Notes: I made this cheesecake the first time for John's birthday in November 2011. I'm always looking for a new cheesecake & this one was extra special because Celeste and I picked the blackberries on her birthday in September 2011 practically in her backyard in Concrete, WA. This cheesecake was so excellent. It called for Ricotta cheese but I decided to omit that. It makes such a large amount of batter that you could probably get away with taking out a cup or two and putting it in a small dish to bake separately. I cooked it quite a bit longer because it was so large.
