Pimento Cheese Spread

Homemade Pimento Cheese is easy to make and is a classic go-to for spreading on sandwiches for all kinds of  occasions.

This became one of my Mother’s simple signature recipes, passed around to friends and family. I remember eating it for countless school lunches, and her using it spread on making hundreds of those little fancy finger sandwiches, cut into triangles and no crust,  and served at wedding and baby showers and church receptions.
