Pimiento Cheese

This recipe for pimiento cheese which I love more than just about anything is for my son Leland, in celebration of the excellent results he achieved through persistence and hard work.

1 pound sharp cheddar cheese chopped into small chunks
1 peeled and seeded pimento pepper ( from a can or jar) chopped
3/4 cup best quality mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pinch of salt

This is best made in a food processor with a large bowl but in a pinch, a blender will do

Put all the ingredients into the food processor and blend until smooth. If not creamy enough, add a small amount of mayonnaise until desired texture is achieved.

Refrigerate and serve chilled.
