Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
Prepare the crust by combining graham cracker crumbs and melted butter.
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in vanilla extract before pouring the mixture onto the cooled crust.
Bake for 55-60 minutes until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
Allow cheesecake to cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Top the cheesecake with fresh fruit and fruit preserves just before serving.
