How to Make Nana's Pimento Cheese
- Grate 2 cups of Vermont or Kraft cheddar cheese.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated cheese with one 4 ounce jar of pimentos and their liquid.
- Gently mix in 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, and 1 tablespoon of hot apple cider vinegar.
- Add more hot apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- (Optional) Stir in your favorite additions: diced jalapeños, chopped red onion, a dash of Worcestershire sauce, etc.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Serve immediately on Ritz crackers and celery sticks, topped with sliced green olives (optional).
- For a unique appetizer, try wrapping a piece of cantaloupe or honeydew melon with a dollop of pimento cheese and a slice of ham.
- Enjoy! This pimento cheese is also delicious served warm and spreadable.
