My son is a mayonnaise freak. He eats it on everything ... even pizza. Believe me, I've had the talk with him about how bad it is for him, but he's 18 and would rather do the opposite of what I say.
Rather than keep buying mayonnaise now that it has hit $3 a jar, and considering the additives and preservatives that could be in store bought, I'm making my own from now on.
I found this great recipe for mayo. I made it twice today, so I know it works. The only ingredients are an egg yolk, vinegar, water, salt, sugar, lemon juice, and oil (I used vegetable oil). I wouldn't try olive oil because I've heard that is too bitter for mayo.
Keep in mind that the recipe only makes 1 cup of mayo, and a regular-size mayonnaise jar from the store holds 32 ounces. I haven't tried doubling or tripling the recipe yet, but if you do, let me know how it turns out.
This is really good mayo, comparable to Hellmann's, with no bitter or vinegary taste.
Enjoy.
This applesauce comes out tasting just like the middle of an apple pie.
Ingredients:
12-14 McIntosh apples (or any crisp, tart apple)
1 c sugar
3c water
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
2 Tbsp butter
Directions: Peel and core apples. Slice into large chunks. Add all ingredients to a large saucepan. Bring to boiling and then turn down to medium low and simmer uncovered 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While it is still warm, try it on top of vanilla ice cream!
This is what I'm having for breakfast this morning. I made it with this recipe Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread. The best part is that I added chocolate chips to the recipe. It's the perfect food in Maine on a fall morning.
