Boat Recipe Series: Jalapeño & Pimento Cheese

Boat Recipe: Jalapeño Cheese

Ingredients

3 bags shredded extra sharp white cheddar

1 jar of diced jalapeños drained

3-6 large tablespoons mayonnaise - I use just enough mayonnaise to hold the jalapeño cheese together. Duke’s Mayonnaise is the best- but use just enough!

Instructions

Mix with a sturdy wooden spoon, and it takes some effort! It should have a very dense texture.

Boat Recipe: Pimento Cheese

Ingredients

3 bags shredded extra sharp yellow cheddar
1 Cup Pimentos, or roasted red peppers if you like a milder taste, minced
3-6 tablespoons mayonnaise use just enough mayonnaise to hold the pimento cheese together. Duke’s Mayonnaise is the best- but use just enough!
3/4 Tsp Tabasco or other Vinegar Based Hot Sauce— (optional)
Pepper to taste

Instructions

Mix with a sturdy wooden spoon, and it takes some effort! It should have a very dense texture.

TIME SAVING TIP: I buy store bought pimento cheese and add 1-2 bags of finely grated sharp cheddar cheese to it, to get the more dense texture and more intense cheese flavor.

How to Serve:

Serve with celery, cucumber spears, your favorite crackers, with bread to make a sandwich, your morning toast, on cheeseburgers or with ham on biscuits and some honey mustard — or my favorite - Benne wafers!
