Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 9-inch spring-form pan, wrap the outside with a large piece of heavy aluminum foil. FOR CRUST: Mix together crumbs, cinnamon and butter. Press mixture evenly over the bottom and up 1-inch of pan. Bake in preheated oven for 6-minutes. Cool. FOR FILLING: In a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and mix. Mix in flour. Add eggs, two at a time, mixing until smooth. Mix in 1 teas of the cinnamon, along with ginger, cloves and vanilla. Pour 2˝ cups of batter into a medium bowl and stir in the Rum. Set aside. To the remaining batter add pumpkin, stirring just until no white batter shows. Pour hot water into the larger baking pan until it reaches 1-inch up the outside of the spring-four pan. Bake 35-minutes. Carefully slide oven rack out of oven. Pour reserved Rum-batter evenly over the top. Bake until the top of the cheesecake remains firm when the pan is gently shaken, about 25-minutes. Remove from the oven and cover with a paper towel, cool in water bath for 1-hour, then remove from water bath, take off paper and cool another hour. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for at least 6-hours or overnight.

Personal Notes:
Cheryl entered a Baking Contest while stationed at Fort Hood, located in Killeen, Texas and won FIRST PLACE with her Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake recipe! Elvis Presley served at Fort Hood, and I am sure he would've loved this recipe and if he had been alive, he would've voted for it. Congratulations to my daughter!
