White Cheddar And Jalapeno Spread

• 1/2 pound white Cheddar cheese -- shredded
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/8 cup mayonnaise
• 3 scallions -- minced
• 5 fresh jalapeno peppers -- seed and mince
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 pinch salt
• Hot pepper sauce to taste

  Here's a recipe from the Southern Season in Chapel Hill, NC, provided by chef Devon Mills. Grate cheese first and let stand until room temperature; it will combine better. Blend all ingredients until smooth. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

  Makes 1 1/2 cups of spread.

  Please note, Devon allows for additional heat beyond the jalapenos, and has no particular sauce or amount thereof, to use. That's your option. Adios.
