What a tasty new TREAT for me! I love pimento cheese and had always made it with mayonaaise ~ I now have a new go to recipe without mayo! I doubled the recipe (except for the garlic amount) and added two tablespoons chopped Kroger brand Hot and Sweet jalapenoes. Made for Paprika, Herb/Spice for March in the French forum.
