Summertime is great for grilling or just hanging out with friends.  The following is delicious to top off that burger or spread on your choice of fresh bread (my favorite is sour dough).

Fruit & Pecan Pimiento Cheese

1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup diced pimientos

1/3 cup finely chopped pecans

1/4 cup minced onion

1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/4 teaspoon ground paprika

1/4 teaspoon salt

Combine Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, pimientos, onion, cranberries, parsley, Worcestershire, paprika, and salt, mixing to blend.  Refrigerate until ready to use.  Pimiento cheese can be stored, covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
