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.)
