STEP 2: Make the puree. Take ½ cup of the cherry topping and use a food processor or blender to blend it into a puree. This will leave about ¼ of puree afterwards.
STEP 3: Chill the topping and puree. Place cherry puree in the freezer for 15 minutes to cool so it can go in your batter.
Place the remainder of the topping in an airtight container in your refrigerator until you are ready to top the cheesecake.
