Making the Summer Berry and Peach Cheesecake involves some straightforward steps. Here’s how to do it:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, ⅓ cup sugar, and melted butter. Stir until well mixed, then press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
3. Bake the Crust: Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
4. Mix the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until smooth.
5. Pour Mixture: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading evenly.
6. Bake the Cheesecake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
7. Cool: Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Then, remove it and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
8. Prepare the Toppings: In a bowl, toss the fresh peaches and summer berries with fruit preserves to coat lightly.
9. Assemble: Once the cheesecake is chilled, top it with the peach and berry mixture, spreading it evenly.
10. Serve: Slice and enjoy the refreshing flavor of your Summer Berry and Peach Cheesecake!
