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.)

Tips:
- Choose the right cheese: Use a good quality sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor. You can also use a combination of cheddar and other cheeses, such as cream cheese, Monterey Jack, or pepper Jack.
- Shred your own cheese: Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can affect the taste and texture of your pimento cheese. Shredding your own cheese ensures that you get the freshest, most flavorful results.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your pimento cheese will taste. Use fresh bell peppers, onions, and celery. You can also add other fresh herbs or vegetables, such as cilantro, parsley, or jalapeños.
- Don't overmix: Overmixing can make your pimento cheese too thick and pasty. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Chill before serving: Pimento cheese is best served chilled. This allows the flavors to meld and develop. You can chill it for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
Conclusion:
Pimento cheese is a delicious and versatile spread that can be used in a variety of ways. It's perfect for sandwiches, crackers, or vegetables. You can also use it as a dip or a spread for celery and carrot sticks. No matter how you choose to serve it, pimento cheese is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
