Pimiento Cheese Ball

I don’t think I have ever made so many cheese balls. They were definitely popular during the Mid Century.

The ball itself is nice and creamy. It spreads nicely on the crackers too.

The pimiento is definitely the star of the ball. You taste pimiento more than any of the other vegetables.

The pecans give the ball a bit of a saltiness that is not at all unwanted.

Overall this was a very nice appetizer option.
