For crust:

For cheesecake: 

Combine sugar and cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer (adding cream cheese one package at a time) and mix. Beat in sour cream, vanilla, and salt. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Pour mixture into pan. Dollop four tablespoons of jam on top of batter. Using a tooth pick swirl the jam into the cheesecake batter. Set into another larger pan filled with 2 inches of water. Bake for 60 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes then chill.

This recipe makes one 9 or 10 inch deep dish cheesecake with plenty left over for 5 to 6 mini tarts.
