How-To Make Southern Pimento Cheese

The Master’s golf tournament in Augusta Georiga, held early April each year is regarded as “The” golf tournament all the pros really want to win. The Masters is one tough cookie to attend, I have been fortunate to go and eat an Iconic Master’s Pimento cheese sandwich before due to my Uncle John having tickets each year. Thanks, Uncle Dick.

I’ll tell you one of the most rememberable things while on the golf course is eating a Master’s Pimento Cheese Sandwich at a whopping $1.50 apiece.

Pimento Cheese, In the southern part of America, is a staple in most family households. The question is, have you ever tasted fresh homemade Pimento cheese?

What Are Pimentos?

  Pimentos are Peppers.

Which Peppers?

Actually, this topic is still open for discussion. Assortments like cherry peppers, red bell peppers, , all kinds.

You can make your own pimento by roasting your favorite peppers.

You could fire-roast them as well. If you do, once you take them off the fire, place the peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam. You could also place them in a paper bag. The peel will come off easier that way. From there, just mince the pepper and use it in place of canned pimentos.
