Do you like pimento cheese? In case you're not familiar with it, it's made with grated sharp cheddar cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, sugar, pimentos (of course!) and a few drops of hot sauce.
Years ago I would buy it ready made in the grocery store and doctor it up some, but then I discovered how easy it is to make my own. And it's a gazillion times better!
I've made it for years now and it's a very popular spread in Charleston, SC. I think they'd make it an official SC dish if they could!
I just made a batch to have on sandwiches, with crackers, maybe even on a hamburger? Not sure about that last one.
Do you ever make your own pimento cheese spread (if you even like it, that is)?
If you're in another part of the world from the US, do you make anything similar?

It really is easy to make and tailor to your own like.

I haven't made it, but it is pretty good. It's good on celery too.

That's right, I had forgotten about celery.

Do you make the cheese or just the spread?

@1creekgirl I use cheddar cheese shredded, softened cream cheese, diced pimentos, a bit of salt, some drops of Tabasco, a bit of Greek yogurt.

@LadyDuck Oh, the yogurt takes the place of the mayo. Sounds good.

Home made is so much better. Well, I guess it depends on how it's made!

I don't care for the taste of it. My question was how do you make it; but I see that you answered it below!

My husband doesn't care for it, so I'll end up eating most of it unless I can give some away.

I do not pretend that, but I found a great recipe and I plan to try to make cheese myself
