Mayonnaise?

Here is a copy of the comment I made on a forum post about mayonnaise

Hi Jay,

I also agree with “nette and Buttoni as well. Home made mayonnaise can be done quickly and easily and you don’t even need a blender. I do it the old fashioned way. I just take a big bowl, crack into it 1 egg yolk then with a whisk whisk that up thoroughly and then as I’m whisking I slowly drizzle in ground nut oil as I find that gives  a lovely taste. Keep on adding oil until no more will mix in and then add 1 or 2 teaspoonfuls of cider vinegar and voila…. you have a typically French mayonnaise!

You can also use lemon juice if you want to change the flavor slightly and I have to say it’s much better than shop-bought, oh yes and it keeps well as well but only if people don’t see it sat in the fridge then it doesn’t keep at all.

Hope that helps,

Mark
