GRANNY BARRA'S CHEESECAKE
At age 96, our granny pasted away September 2001. She loved this cheesecake because it rises up high and is as light as a feather. She'd lovingly make it for every memeber of our family (because we all loved it) as a special birthday gift. She's gone, but her love and caring and cheesecake lives on!

GRANDMOTHER'S CHEESECAKE
A citrus cheesecake with a shortbread crust. It takes a long time of preparation but it is well worth the wait. If you can't find a vanilla bean, substitute 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract for each 1 inch piece of bean. You can top with any of your favorite fruits or toppings, or eat it plain. Summertime fresh fruits are nice, or chocolate lovers can spread on a layer of fudge topping.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon lemon peel, and 1 teaspoon orange peel. Split a 1-inch piece of vanilla bean; scrape seeds into flour mixture.
