Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce
To a medium saucepan, add the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, salt and water. Cook over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes until all the rhubarb is broken down and soft. Set aside and allow to cool.
Graham Cracker Crust
In a medium bowl, combine the graham crackers, sugar and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Firmly press 2 tablespoons of the mixture into each muffin liner.
Cheesecake
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until it is smooth. Add the sugar, flour and vanilla. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Mix in one egg at a time, just until combined, being careful not to overmix. Fold the sour cream in to the cream cheese mixture until combined.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of the cheesecake into each muffin tin. Top with 1 teaspoon strawberry rhubarb sauce. Using a butter knife swirl the sauce into the cheesecake.
Top with an additional 2 tablespoons cheesecake and a heaping teaspoon of strawberry rhubarb sauce. Swirl until the sauce in evenly distributed throughout the cheesecake in a nice swirl.
Bake at 325°F for 30-40 minutes.*
When the cheesecakes are fully set and they no longer jiggle in the center, remove them from the oven.
Refrigerate and cool cheesecakes completely before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
