However, I am loathe to buy frozen rhubarb for the topping. Any suggestions for another topping I could make, using fresh or dried fruit? I do have some port that I would like to include if possible. Pear compote? I would also consider making a ginger cookie crust, which I saw with another stilton cheesecake recipe that had no topping. Or should I just buy the frozen fruit and serve as originally intended? I do love rhubarb, I just usually eat it in season only. I can't imagine a compote would suffer much from using frozen fruit though. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Stilton-Cheesecake-with-Rhubarb-Compote-103409 Thu Jan 08 06:09:22 -0800 2009 12120 julesrules 1 4306923 How 'bout a port wine and chocolate sauce; or a raspberry/chocolate topping.

Chocolate is amazingly versatile and Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing is often used on salads featuring bleu cheese.

Add cubes to a sauce pan with a tablespoon of orange juice and cook until the pineapple begins to thicken into a nice fruit sauce. Cool & pour over cheesecake.
