I have written before of my love of the summer BLT (or BOLT)<\/a>. Every once in a while, however, one of my guests is a vegetarian and doesn\u2019t want the B in that delicious sandwich. So instead I haul out the cheese and serve CLTS (or COLTS).<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

I fell in love with pimiento cheese when I lived in Tennessee. I\u2019m not sure why it never caught on here in Yankeeland, but I\u00a0enjoy whipping up a batch from time to time.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Many of you will be appalled at the addition of salt to an already sodium-rich concoction so I\u2019m making the salt\u00a0optional, but it does bring the flavors out. Obviously, the hot peppers should be used to taste as well.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

The Spread<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Ingredients:<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
1\/2 pound sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
\n1 7-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained (reserve 1 tablespoon of the liquid) and finely chopped
\n2 jalape\u00f1o peppers, seeded and finely chopped
\nseveral turns of the pepper grinder
\n1 tablespoon red-pepper brine
\nsalt to taste (start with 1\/2 teaspoon)
\nmayonnaise to taste (start with 1 tablespoon)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Instructions:<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
In a medium bowl combine all ingredients. Stir to combine. If the mixture doesn\u2019t hold together, add a little more mayonnaise.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Chill the cheese blend for at least 1\/2 hour. Stir before serving. Makes about 1 cup compacted pimiento cheese.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
