Pimento Cheese Spread
Pimento Cheese Spread is a classic southern appetizer for any holiday or family get together. Today I’m sharing the recipe that has been in my husband’s family for generations.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound American Cheese grated (use a quality brand or from the deli)
- 4 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1/3 cup white vinegar
- 1 12 oz can evaporated milk
- 4 oz jar pimentos diced or minced
Instructions
- In a large sauce pan, combine flour and sugar, stir in vinegar and slowly stir in evaporated milk. Stir in cheese.
- Place sauce pan over low heat (if you cook over too high of heat it will curdle and will not be the smooth texture you desire).
- Stir constantly until cheese has melted. Cook three to five minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in pimentos with juice.
- Place in a glass dish and cover with plastic wrap to prevent a film.
- Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
Store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
