Just made some mayonnaise for us last night. It is so very, very good. A neighbor has tried it and now I make it for them also. No one will eat Miracle Whip here anymore. ha ha I used to swear by Miracle Whip...just shows how your taste changes over the years. I hope for those who do love Miracle Whip will try greenmullberry's recipe and tell us how it turns out.

I just made this for the first time. It turned out perfect the first time! Thanks MP! I was outraged to see the price of mayo when i was last at the grocery store. Another way I can fight inflation.

No one here will even touch Miracle Whip, so I never buy it. I have a friend though whose family loves it, so I will pass this recipe on to her to try. Thanks so much.

I'm getting frustrated now. I've tried 2 times to make the mayo. No success. I went into this with positve thinking. I put the whole egg and one cup of oil in a wide mouth quart jar (then it could stay in there when done) I used a stick blender and as mentioned before it came out looking like yellow oil. I tried again (all room temp) with less oil and still no luck. No change after 4 minutes. Perhaps my stick blender is not whipping fast enough? Should I whip the egg up first till it starts to get stiff and then drizzle in the oil? I'll try a blender next. I do not have a food processor. I make my own blue cheese dressing that calls for mayo and I want to try to make it because it is costly at the store. Please....Can you come and show me MissPrissy?

At 4 min you broke the emulsion. It takes me 20 seconds to pulse the mayo.

that is so cool

But even at 1 or 2 minutes into beating, no change. Just yellow oil.

. That is why I'm thinking my stick blender is not fast enough. Is that possible? I want to make blue cheese dressing! I'll do the blender tomorrow when I'm in a better mood. Thanks.

When I started making the mayo...I failed twice. I believe the trick to it is.......put the egg in first and then pour the oil in a very thin stream while beating with the stick blender. I then raise the blender up and down as I am blending it. I also use a tall narrow glass. Hope this helps you? I haven't had a failure since.

Good point, OH. I often use a mason jar.
