Ingredients

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup mesquite meal

6 tablespoon melted butter or margarine

2/3 cup mesquite or clover honey,

1 divided

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

24 oz cream cheese, softened

2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

3 large eggs

1 cup sour cream

1 prickly pear glaze (recipe below)

6 ripe, unblemished strawberries

PRICKLY PEAR GLAZE

3/4 cup apple juice

2 tablespoon cornstarch

3/4 cup prickly pear nectar

1/3 cup mesquite or clover honey

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker

crumbs, mesquite meal, butter, 1 tablespoon honey, and cinnamon.

Using fingers, press mixture evenly on bottom and half way up sides

of 9-inch spring-form pan. Set aside.

In large mixing bowl, with mixer at high speed, beat cream cheese,

remaining honey, and vanilla until creamy. Beat in eggs, one at a

time, mixing well. Stir in sour cream. Pour batter into crust; bake

50 to 60 minutes, until center sets. Turn off oven, leaving door

slightly ajar. Leave cake in oven 1 hour; remove and allow to cool.

Chill at least 2 hours; then prepare glaze and peel and slice

peaches. Arrange strawberries on top of cake and spoon over glaze. Return to refrigerator until ready to serve.

Prickly Pear Glaze

Combine 1/4 cup apple juice and cornstarch. In saucepan, combine

remaining apple juice, prickly pear juice, and honey. Stir over

medium heat until honey melts. Add cornstarch mixture and stir until

mixture boils, thickens, and turns clear. Cook one minute and set

aside to cool slightly.
