======================================================================
=== In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over milk; set aside to
soften, about 5 minutes. Place saucepan over very low heat; cook,
stirring constantly until gelatin is completely dissolved, 3 to 5
minutes; remove from heat; cool slightly. In food processor fitted
with metal blade or in blender, process cottage cheese, sugar, orange
peel and salt until smooth. With processor running, slowly add
gelatin mixture. Spoon mixture into a 9-inch (6 1/2-cup) heart-shaped
baking pan or an 8 x 1 1/2-inch round baking pan. In a small bowl,
combine graham cracker crumbs and butter; sprinkle over cheesecake
mixture. Cover and refrigerate until firm, 2 to 3 hours. To unmold,
using a metal spatula or knife, loosen edge around pan; quickly dip
into warm water; unmold onto a serving platter. Arrange strawberries
and raspberries in rows across cheesecake. In a small saucepan, heat
raspberry preserves and water until melted; brush over berries.
Refrigerate until preserves are cold, about 30 minutes. (If a round
pan is used, arrange berries to resemble a heart.)
