Pimento cheese is one of those southern staples that for some reason has yet to catch on in the rest of the country. It makes a great appetizer or sandwich spread, and it is amazing on burgers, too.
It's also remarkably simple to make and takes very well to personalization; some folks add green olives and/or green onions, some like a bit of horseradish in it or a dash of Worcestershire sauce. A bit of powdered onion soup mix is an especially tasty variation.
This recipe incorporates chopped clams and savory country ham for a flavor match made in heaven. It's delicious served cold on crackers, fruit, or vegetables, or as a sandwich filling, but when you spread it on small toasts and broil it, it is utterly sublime!
