This is a creamy spread that is cooked. My Aunt Erma Lee was a great cook. Feel free to adjust the sugar to your taste. This is a great spread for sandwiches with soup. Try spreading it on buns with hamburgers or sloppy joes for a new twist! Soars above store-bought! Can be kept under refrigeration for up to one week.

Ingredients

1 (2 pound) loaf processed cheese food (such as Velveeta®), cut into 8 pieces
2 (7 ounce) jars pimento peppers, drained and chopped
¼ cup tarragon vinegar
¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup unsalted butter
¼ cup white sugar

Directions

Combine cheese food, pimento peppers, tarragon vinegar, mayonnaise, butter, and sugar in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over low-heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until the cheese and butter are melted completely, about 20 minutes.
Pour mixture into sealable containers and refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.

Cook's Note:

Creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip(R)) works in place of the mayonnaise, if that's your preference.
