Pimento Cheese Spread

This is a wonderful easy and refreshing recipe. I like to use my electric meat grinder (a Waring Pro) for the texture it gives this dish. the recipe used in this video is:

1 - 2# block of good quality mild cheddar cheese

8 ounces pimento (I like Rolands whole pimentos, then I give them a rough cut)

1/4 C (approx) mayonnaise - just for creaminess.

I also added a splash of the pimento juice while grinding.

Directions:
Cut the cheese into chute size pieces and give the pimento a rough cut (if you used whole). Alternate feeding the chute with cheese and pimento. I begin and end with cheese, then add just enough mayo for a creamy texture - but not overbearing. You don't want the mayo to override the flavors.

Serve atop crackers or stuff celery - use your imagination. It's good on top of dry toast, too. This is excellent to serve at parties. My kids like to swipe the cheesespread and make sandwiches out of them! Enjoy!

Here's a definition, "pimiento; pimento A large, red, heart-shaped sweet pepper that measures 3 to 4 inches long and 2 to 3 inches wide. The flesh of the pimiento (the Spanish word for "pepper") is sweet, succulent and more aromatic than that of the red bell pepper... Pimientos are the familiar red stuffing found in green olives."
