• Serve as a dip with fresh vegetables, spread on bread as a sandwich, or on top of crackers.

MOM'S PIMENTO CHEESE

• More or less mayo may be needed to make it spreading consistency.
• Refrigerate overnight to let the flavors blend.

MOM'S PIMENTO CHEESE

Steps:

• Grate cheddar in food processor or on hand grater. Add cheese to a large bowl with sugar, Miracle Whip or Mayo and stir to combine. Add back to food processor with the blade attachment instead of the grating attachment. Pulse the processor until you get your desired consistency. Add half of the pimentos and some of the liquid from the jar. This will loosen the cheese mixture in the food processor a little and should allow it to become a bit smoother. When the cheese mixture looks like it would be spreadable, taste it and add any salt and pepper that it might need. Add the remaining pimentos and all the liquid from the jar and pulse one or two more times. This will allow your pimento cheese to have visible pimentos in it. If you add the pimento all at the beginning, you will blitz it until it's all too small to see. Package up the pimento cheese and store in the fridge for a week or so.

MOTHER'S EVERYDAY PIMENTO CHEESE

Steps:

• Finely grate cheeses into a large bowl. Stir in pimentos, black pepper, cayenne, and salt to taste with a fork. Then stir in mayonnaise, mashing mixture with fork until relatively smooth. (It should be flecked with small pieces of pimento.)
• Scrape spread into a crock or jar and chill, covered, at least 2 hours to allow flavors to develop.
• Serve pimento cheese with crackers or use as a filling for finger sandwiches.
