When you saw this post, I’m sure you said yourself, “Is this
woman demented?! She has already given us recipes for pimiento cheese!“ And so,
I have. And I may or may not be demented, that’s still up for debate, but I do
like pimiento cheese, and my goal is to try every recipe I can find.
Generally I’m a purist when it comes to pimiento cheese. Just the basics are all I want. But recently I stumbled upon a recipe with a lot of ingredients that called itself Southern Pimiento Cheese. I don’t consider a pimiento cheese recipe with a lot of ingredients to be truly Southern, but because I hadn’t tried this one, and because my goal is to try them all, I thought I would make it truly Southern by adding some bourbon to the mix. Boy, is this stuff good! Because I used Kentucky bourbon, my version gives a nod to that fine state. If you’re a pimiento cheese fan the way that I am, you need to give this one a try.
