I have used jarred roasted red peppers in pimento cheese. It doesn't make much difference. But I am not a connoisseur, super-taster, nor have any allergies or intolerance. |

Best of luck. That is is very good information, Wayne. Many thanks. At the moment I'm very busy with domestic things, but I will try your original recepe with the additional info. BTW, only collected all the diference kind of peppers in the page on my site. And of course that has nothing to do with your recipe. And the word piment or pimento has so many different meaning in Spain or in the Netherlands. From sweet to very hot. -- Regards, Gerard Schaefers Recipes in Dutch - https://www.sjeef.nl Homepage in Dutch, English, German and Spanish - https://www.sjeef.eu RSS - https://www.sjeef.nl/Recepten/rssfeed.xml |

I have bought them a couple times and they are delicious. I just don't think to use them enough. The small jars are a little pricey. There are sometimes great deals on the large jars, but then I forget to use them and they go bad. > > A few additions I make are to add some Lea & Perrins worchestershire > sauce, a pinch of sugar, salt & pepper and a bit of malt vinegar.

There exist several varieties of pimiento, from mild to hot. If what you want is a very mild version ripe (red) bell pepper will suffice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pimiento |

Some paprikas are as mild as ripe bell pepper... sweet paprika is used for color, not flavor. I sprinkle mild paprika on tuna and potato salads all the time as a garnish. to add color to roast chicken too. There are actually hundreds of different paprikas. Some paprikas are used for their aroma... many paprikas are a blend of sweet and hot peppers https://www.penzeys.com/search/#?q=paprika https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paprika |
