MOM'S PIMENTO CHEESE SPREAD



Mom's Pimento Cheese Spread image

Mom has made this since I was a little girl. Dad loved pimento cheese, but back then it came in little, bitty jars. We couldn't afford it as we were a family of four living on $90 a month. Mom experimented until she came up with a pimento cheese spread. We're on the fifth generation and it is still a favorite. Mom is still...

Categories     Sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lb. box velveeta cheese (original), diced into 1-inch pieces
2 4-oz. jar(s) diced pimentos
1/2 c sugar
5 Tbsp cider vinegar
1/2 c miracle whip (do not substitute)

Steps:

  • 1. Put all of the above, except the pimentos, in the large bowl of your mixmaster (I used my food processor).
  • 2. When you start this begin on the slow speed until all ingredients are mixed.
  • 3. Slowly increase speed and then beat on high until the mixture is smooth. If using a food processor, blend for 1-1 1/2 minutes then check to see if smooth.
  • 4. Drain juice off of one jar of diced pimentos.
  • 5. Add pimentos and remaining juice. Mix just until combined (if you are using a food processor pulse until just combined...you want the pieces of pimento to show up).
  • 6. This recipe easily halves...you'll be using only one jar of pimentos, so drain half the juice off of it.
  • 7. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
  • 8. Great to make as sandwiches. Also good on Ritz crackers or as a filling in celery.

MOM'S PIMENTO CHEESE



Mom's Pimento Cheese image

Posted in response to a request, this has to be the best pimento cheese ever, imho. My kids loved it growing up and if, when they visit, there is some in the frig... it's not there long. Great on a sandwich or crackers... or to stuff celery or use as a veggie dip. It never lasts long around here. (Amount is a guess-timate b/c I've never measured how much this recipe makes.)
