Mayonnaise

[conroy]

I remember having to make mayonnaise in cooking school...we weren't allowed to use blenders.

definitely makes it alot easier.

Well, my first attempt at mayo didn't turn out at all. Came out chunky green yuck. Then I tried drizzling the oil into the food processor and it came out perfect. Now to just get the seasonings right. It's good and in egg salad you can't tell a difference - not even my hubby could - he still doesn't know I made it!! ;-) I won't be able to tell him until after he's eaten it for months then he'll be convinced... he's so afraid of homemade stuff!? Oddball. Oh well. I'll try the dried mustard and see if that helps the flavor.

Now to figure out how to peel hardboiled eggs without them looking all mangled. How MUCH salt do I need to add?? Or is it vinegar? I tried using 3 wk old eggs and they still didn't come out right... luckily it was only egg salad but it's still a pain in the neck to peel. Talk about time consuming!

I use 1/2 c salt.

The mayo is good with a dab of dijon mustard in it too.

Next weeks eggs will go in the fridge to lay in wait for Thanksgiving dinner.

my great aunts used to make homemad emayo and i would wait to lick the bowl !!!!!! LOL>
I used to be a chef /owner of a fancy restaurant and we make aioli, which is basically a homemade mayo using garlic and olive oil.
or we made garlic oil by roasting garlic heads in oilve oil and then strained the oil to use in making the aioli

yummy stuff.

MissPrissy,
I didn't read though all the post but wanted to try your recipe. But how long do you blend the egg and oil?
