Just made another jar of mayo. I never want to go back to store bought mayo, mine tastes so much better and fresher. Have you ever tried spreading mayo on fresh corn on the cob? If not, you are missing out. I use mayo in so many different ways. I use avocado oil, so no yucky oils or additives. I've posted my recipe before, but in case you need it: #foodstr #diy - 1 egg - 1 cup avocado oil - 1 tsp dijon mustard - 1 tsp lemon juice - 1 tsp apple cider vinegar - salt to taste ( i use about half a tsp) Crack the egg into a jar, then add the rest of ingredients. Use immersion blender to mix it all up. Thats it. I just leave the mayo and use it out of that same jar. You can double the recipe, and it will just about fill a quart jar. image

I'm going to have to try this, I've always been too chicken to try making it. I love making "fried" chicken, smear some mayo on chicken and press panko bread crumbs on and bake it. The potato chip chicken that was all the rage a few years back was mayo with crushed potato chips.
My daughter just made her first Aioli the other day, very similar to this. She’s 10 and LOVES to be in the kitchen. She used the blender, but it was perfect! I’ll never touch that soy/canola/seed oil shit they call food, which is sadly on every sandwich in America πŸ˜”. Good job! Thanks for sharing. πŸ§‘πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

Mine has never gone bad, but we eat quite a bit of it weekly. But the consistency can change if its been more than a week or so. Flavor wont be affected though. You could start with the basic recipe to test it.
if you’re having trouble getting it emulsify, put in all the ingredients except the oil, put in the immersion blender, then put the oil on top, and slowly raise the blender while its running, letting the oil in more slowly.

I did majo with my mom when I was a kid. It was too expensive to buy for us at that time.

This is one of the first recipes I learned from my mother. 50 years ago. I use homemade wine vinegar and add black pepper. Store mayo is usually not eatable.

Beware, avoid to bring air trapped in the blender, you might miss the emulsion.

We keep ours for weeks.
I remember my grandparents never, ever, used bought mayo. They always made it on demand, and it was awesome.

Try adding sugar and white pepper and taste the result
The mayonnaise looks delicious, which reminds me of the honey mayonnaise I ate on this commercial yacht. Its taste was so delicious that I can't forget it, and what I can't forget is that yacht experience, which was the happiest time of my life. The link to that yacht experience is here.
