Where do I find the 4 oz. jar of pimento cheese spread? Is it the one made by Kraft in the dairy section in those little jars? Please help and thank you for all your good recipes. luvmyjava66@yahoo.com ( Lesa)

Hi there! When we made this recipe, we found the 4 oz. jar of pimiento cheese spread in the dairy section at the grocery store. We also used the Kraft brand when making this recipe. Enjoy!
