Cinnamon

Mayonnaise

Recommended Posts

This is the one I use Sarah

 

Mayonnaise

 

2 egg yolks (de-stringed!)

50ml cider vinegar (or white wine vinegar)

1tsp Honey

1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard

pinch of salt

 

All whizzed slightly in the processor.......

 

then with the processor running, slowly drizzle in 500ml of light olive oil.

 

Taste and adjust honey/mustard/vinegar to your taste.

 

Will make two honey jars full and I keep it for around two weeks. I stick a small label on the bottom of the jar with the date I made it.

 

I'm using home-made tarragon vinegar to make mine at the moment and still have tarragon in the garden to add some chopped up.

Just made a half batch & I think it is gorgeous :P

 

The children are finding it too vinegary though - I used White Wine vinegar...will cider vinegar cut down on that sharp taste do you think?

Or do you have any other tips for making it a bit milder tasting (they are used to Helmans!)

I have just tried it with lemon juice & it is a big improvement, so thanks for the tip!

 

Now,I reckon I can mutate it into a sort of Salad Cream if I think about it - any ideas?

I am thinking more mustard & vinegar rather than lemon, & a bit more to make it a little looser.................................

Sarah I add a level teaspoon of Dijon mustard and a dash of vinegar to mine and it tastes really good .........Experiment and see how it tastes with just a little bit of mustard at first until you get it right, I also like a little bit of garlic in mine but the rest of the family complain......... :roll:

We had a bit of a lean egg time over the Holidays too Lesley.

It was a mixure of the children & Hubby being here & eating eggs for Breakfast, Hampers, more people buying them & a couple of unfortunate breakages :roll:

 

I nearly had to go to Tesco & buy some at one point, but good old Lily managed to squeeze one out for me :lol::lol::lol:

:lol: - we ate our last two an dwondered if they might all go on strike and we'd wish we'd saved them for something else - luckily, they all rallied.

 

We only had 3 eggs today though - from about 25 layers :? Lauren was shouting "freeloaders" at them - I've no idea where she got that from :oops::roll:

What a picture i have in my head now - Lauren marching up & down the fencing pointing at them in an intimidating fashion shouting at the top of her voice! :lol::lol::lol:

 

OH has told me to mention that we get an average of 2 a day from 4 chickens so if you want our girls to have a word with your lot just let us know! :wink:
