Southern Pimento cheese

[fxsales1959]

After spending a week in hell, Las Vegas, I always yearn for some "Home stuff".
It's not smoked or meat, but it makes a pile of Ritz crackers disappear pretty quick.
as usual my pictures are lacking.

I love me some pimento cheese! I dont make my own but there is a local place that I buy from that does. They have a jalapeno version that is excellent!!!!

I always thought pimento cheese was overrated. So many people raved about it but they all had that "off" "factory" flavor to me. It was all just so-so for me.

For some reason I was inspired to make my own a few years ago and now I love the stuff. Homemade is definitely the way to go. I have notes on a jalapeno version and it was good, but I have settled on the red pimento as my go-to.

Looks good! You got a recipe?

I'd be interested in your recipe as well. Looks fantastic. I love the stuff but avoid the commercial ones as they add things like corn syrup that seem unnecessary

Yummy! I tried stuff jalapeno's couple times with it but it gets to runny. They where still good. Added cream cheese last time and where little better.

Southern Pimento Cheese

Pimento cheese is jazzed up with jalapeño and cayenne pepper for a creamy spreadable cheese that's delicious on crackers, as a dip, or in sandwiches.

Since we all smoke stuff, I smoke NY sharp cheddar and after a few weeks, I shred with the
food processor to make pimento cheese. Sometimes I add bacon. Try it. You will like it
I should add that I smoke about 20 pounds of cheese in the winter and vacuum pack it in 2 pound portions for later use.

My buddy, went back and did Myron's class a few yrs ago, and one of the snacks he had out was his pimento cheese and sliced baguettes.
My buddy asked for the recipe, and he makes it for most of his parties, it's good sheeet man!!!
