Time 10m

Yield 1 1/2 cups cheese spread, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese (8 ounces)
1/4-1/2 cup mayonnaise (I use 1/4 cup)
1 (4 ounce) jar chopped pimiento, drained
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or 1 tablespoon distilled vinegar

Steps:

  • Chop pimientos into small pieces, or pulse in a food processor.
  • In small bowl, stir all ingredients until well mixed.
  • OR put all ingredients into a food processor, and pulse until well-blended and pimientos are in small pieces.
  • Serve on crackers, with celery, or make pimiento cheese sandwiches!
  • NOTE: Using 1/4 cup mayonnaise makes a rather stiff spread which we like.
  • You may prefer to add up to 1/2 cup mayonnaise to get the spreading consistency you like.

HOMEMADE PIMIENTO CHEESE SPREAD

This recipe is from Becky, my brother Forest's wife, who is originally from Charleston, South Carolina. She says this is a Southern recipe and she has been making it for years! My brother (a northerner) will not even let her put it in the fridge to chill before he wants some -- so it must be good!! I hear that it is great on...
