½ C ricotta cheese
¾ C cream cheese
1 T sugar
1 egg
Pinch kosher salt
½ C CSD Julienne Cut Tomatoes
Tomatoes, coarsely chopped
¼ C apricot jam
1 to 2 tsp hot water
 

Special equipment: 1 (4 ½ inch diameter) springform pan
 

Preheat the oven to 350°. Wrap the outside of cheesecake pan with 2 layers of heavy-duty foil. Place the ricotta & cream cheese in food processor. Pulse to mix.
