Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.

Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to mix until well combined. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and salt, mix until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.

Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Prepare the Berry Compote
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the berries start to release their juices. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until smooth, then add it to the berry mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the compote thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.

Serve
Once the cheesecake is chilled and set, remove it from the springform pan. Top with the berry compote before serving. Enjoy your delicious cheesecake with seasonal berry compote!
