  • “This has a lovely flavor and is creamy and spreadable.I have made non cook versions of pimento cheese before so decided to try your recipe for something different.I loved the spicy hint (I might up it next time) and slight sweetness.I will definitely make this again! I think it would be great for gatherings ringed with crackers and/ or celery sticks too.Thank you for sharing your recipe! Reviewed for ZWT 3.”

  • “I followed the recipe exactly, and it was just right as written.The perfect blend of tang and spice and creamy cheese.Nice appetizer today, and we have left overs for sandwiches tomorrow. I wish I’d had a Ritz to put it on for the picture – LOL.”

  • “Made this for lunch today & loved it!My Mom made something similar when I was a kid.The directions for the sauce were RIGHT ON and, for me, the balance of sweet & tangy was perfect.Thanks for sharing!”

  • “This was a bit different from the pimento cheese that we are used to eating. The sauce was a bit like a cooked salad dressing and too sweet for me although dh liked it so I averaged out our opinion to give it 4 stars.”
