I used my mama's tried and true recipe with a tip from a fabulous cook, my friend Ivy. <br />Basically, it's sharp cheese, Hellman's mayo (though my mother used homemade), bottled pimentos (I prefer the chopped variety), a dash of Worcestershire (?) sauce and a squeeze of lemon juice.<br />I did it all in the Cuisenart. Grate cheese first, add mayo. Blend. Then pour a small jar of DRAINED pimentos in, squeeze of lemon juice and the dash of L&P. Easy Peasy.Augusta Scattergoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00046256908305921351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369463518787303229.post-24155158229805399442011-12-10T11:05:55.147-05:002011-12-10T11:05:55.147-05:00Joyce, I think you can still buy decent pimento ch...Joyce, I think you can still buy decent pimento cheese in N.C.<br />NJ and FLA? Not so much!<br /><br />Funny how food like this takes you back. I bet I could write about banana bread (which I just made) or even chicken soup, both quite delicious, and get absolutely no strong memories.

I'm pretty sure it was bought and not homemade but it is the taste that lingers in my memory. <br /><br />I would love to be at your launch party. Wishing you a marvelous time.

Every time I complained, she said, "You just don't know what's good." I guess I still don't know what's good, because I still hate pimiento cheese, no matter how you spell it.Mary Annnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369463518787303229.post-25692333025491618222011-12-09T08:59:31.164-05:002011-12-09T08:59:31.164-05:00I use pimiento, but who cares....my aunt makes THE...I use pimiento, but who cares....my aunt makes THE BEST pimiento cheese known to man.
