3Add the eggs and mix in until just incorporated - you don't want to see any traces of egg, but be careful to not overbeat at this stage as it can result in a dry, tough texture.

4Fill the mason jars with the mixture, being careful to not overfill, as the cheesecakes may puff up a little during cooking.

5Place jars in a roasting pan or 9x13 baking pan. Fill pan with water so it reaches two thirds up the sides of the jars. Cover the pan loosely with foil, poke a couple of ventilation holes in the foil, and transfer pan to the oven VERY carefully so no water is spilled into the jars.

6Bake for 40 minutes, or until the cakes are set around the edges but still quite jiggly in the middle. Lift foil once during cooking to release steam, and then recover the pan. Cheesecakes - which are really baked custards - are notoriously susceptible to overbaking, so you should remain vigilant as cooking time increases, and bear in mind that the cheesecakes will look underdone when they leave the oven, and that cooking time for this dish can vary quite dramatically between ovens.

15Note: The rhubarb compote is fantastically easy to whip up and is absolutely divine on anything from greek yogurt to mascarpone ice cream, maybe topped with some quick streusel topping or crushed biscotti.
