Honey Lime cheesecake with Marinated Cherries

Honey Lime cheesecake with Marinated Cherries
This is a very fresh and light take on the ever-popular cheesecake, and it works particularly well with cherries when they are in season. When cherries aren’t available,  I like to serve it with the Red Fruit Compote.
