Pimento Cream Cheese Spread

Iron Bloomers's Note:

A strange sounding combo, but great on wheat or rye crackers. Ideal to a party table. A hand me down recipe from family.

Barb, This sounds great. Love the crunchiness of the nuts. Planning to make this ASAP!

Another great twist to this recipe is a Cream Cheese and Olive dip that I learned from my mother-in-law. Use 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of chopped olives and pimento, 1 tablespoon fresh onion and olive juice to provide desired consistency. Serve with crackers. Enjoy!
