MOM'S PIMENTO CHEESE
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.)

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right cheese: A sharp cheddar cheese is essential for a flavorful pimento cheese. You can also use a combination of sharp cheddar and cream cheese for a creamier spread.
- Use fresh, finely diced pimentos: Canned pimentos can be used, but fresh pimentos will give your pimento cheese a brighter flavor and color.
- Add some heat: A pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce can add a nice kick to your pimento cheese. If you're looking for a milder flavor, you can omit the heat altogether.
- Don't overmix: Overmixing can make your pimento cheese grainy. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Let the pimento cheese chill: Chilling the pimento cheese for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to develop.
Conclusion:
Pimento cheese is a delicious and versatile spread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you're spreading it on a sandwich, using it as a dip for vegetables, or eating it straight out of the bowl, pimento cheese is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give pimento cheese a try. You won't be disappointed!
