Prairie Fruits Farm-Jar Sessions Pimento Cheese Dip

As served at Chef Paul's Prairie Fruits Farm dinner, June 2018

This recipe makes a large serving — 4 quarts — of pimento cheese, the perfect amount for a big party or picnic. Or, give the gift of pimento cheese: Package the dip in pint-size containers and delight your very best friends. Moonglo is a sharp, nutty cheese from the wonderful folks at PFF, and it blends beautifully with the flavors from the pickled peppers and tomatoes.
