Jar Sessions Pimento Cheese
Yields 2 quarts
Ingredients
1 12-ounce Jar Sessions Pickled Sweet Peppers
1 12-ounce Jar Sessions Pickled Cherry Tomatoes (dill sprigs removed)
1 egg
1 yolk
1 1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 onion, minced
20 ounces cheddar cheese, grated

Directions
Strain each jar and reduce liquid until almost dry; cool.
Combine reduced liquids, jar contents, spices and eggs in a food processor.
Blend until combined.
Slowly add the oil while the machine is running to create a mayonnaise.

Fold in cheddar and onion, and season to taste.
