This old Southern family recipe has been updated a bit by my mother Patricia Salzer Sullivan and me. We like it at room temperature and use as a spread or a dip, but it makes a nice grilled cheese, or is great broiled! We serve with different types of vegetables, breads, crackers, chips, pretzels, toasts, bagels... it is all good! You can add more or less of the ingredients... you can even add other ingredients! My mother use to cut the crusts off the bread and make little "tea sandwiches" when I was ill and we had our special alone times together. Play with your food! xo
