Comments on: Make it Yourself – Mayonnaise & Bread Crumbs http://www.passionatehomemaking.com/2008/02/eating-nutritionally-on-a-budget-make-it-yourself-part-1.html Loving simple, natural, and intentional living Sun, 12 Feb 2012 23:29:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Reidun http://www.passionatehomemaking.com/2008/02/eating-nutritionally-on-a-budget-make-it-yourself-part-1.html/comment-page-1#comment-35343 Reidun Wed, 20 Oct 2010 01:06:58 +0000 http://www.passionatehomemaking.com/2008/02/eating-nutritionally-on-a-budget-make-it-yourself-part-1.html#comment-35343 In my experience with making mayonnaise, if you don't have the one-drip-at-a-time thing for your food processor, you can also use a regular blender and just slowly drizzle the oil in through the hole in the lid. However, this is slow and requires too much cleanup for my taste, so I prefer to use a stick blender and make it right in the widemouth jar that I then store it in. With a stick blender you can combine all ingredients at once, there is no need to slowly drizzle the oil in. One key is to make sure that the eggs are room temp. You can warm them up in water if need be. Once when my eggs were too cold and it was to runny I let the mixture stand covered on the counter for half a day and came back and mixed it again and it worked just fine (I had added whey, with which the NT cookbook says to let it stand on the counter for 7 hours before refrigerating). It has always been thick and fluffy like store mayonnaise with the stick blender.

Takes AGES to drip in the olive oil though if you don't have any attachment for your food processor! Ended up with a slow dribble so hope that did not affect it. Tastes good.

It doesn't have a bad flavor, and the coconut oil makes it a bit more firm, like store bought. My husband and I love it!

I want to make more of our foods, so, this mayo recipe is something I will try.
