Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.

- In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the greased pan.

- Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until slightly golden, then let it cool.

- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar together until smooth. Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time until just combined.

- Pour half the creamy filling over the cooled crust, then spread 1/2 cup of blackberry jam over it. Add the remaining filling on top.

- Spoon another 1/2 cup of blackberry jam over the cream cheese layer and swirl it gently with a knife.

- Bake for 50-60 minutes until the center is slightly jiggly. Cool for about 10 minutes before loosening from the pan.

- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. Top with fresh blackberries and raspberries before serving.

Notes
Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother filling. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense cheesecake. Chill thoroughly to enhance flavor.
