thanks for the welcome and thank you for sharing the recipe! I'm going to have to try it.

You're welcome. I hope you like it.

Oooh! I just found the coolest thing!!! A recipe converter! You plug in the number of servings and the ingredients. Then you plug in the new number of servings. It give the new ingredients quantities. For example, I guessed end at 20 servings of this mayonnaise. I then put 1/4 that (2 cups**) for 5 servings and it gave me the correct ingredients sizes.

I'm hanging onto THIS link:

** But, for the life of me, why anyone would want to go to the work, to just make 2 cups, is beyond me.

I was cleaning up after pasteurizing today's milk, and went into the office (where we store kitchen dry goods) and there in the tub, for the ice cream maker, was on the floor where DH, put it, forgetting to close it up. Squeezed into it, was my svelt, 15 pound, Porter. He can squeeze into just about any tiny space.

No way! Porter is a big kitty! He looks so funny. It reminds me of a large dog that wants to sit in your lap.

3/4 tsp. Himalayan Sea Salt

Um, isn't "Himalayan Sea Salt" an oxymoron? There are no oceans, seas, salt water body of any sort in the Himalayas are there?

But, for the life of me, why anyone would want to go to the work, to just make 2 cups, is beyond me.

Because we don't live close enough to you to try it before we make a LOT! If it is pretty close to Hellman's (AKA Best Foods), I'm sure I would like it. That is the only brand I EVER buy. I grew up on BF in CA and was really happy to find the SAME product just with a different name on this side of the country. In college my sister was so insistent on Best Foods, and ONLY Best Foods, that her BF's (now DH) frat brothers bought her a GIGANTIC bottle.

Bring out the Helman's & bring out the Best... they are the same... Some stores even carry both brands. Some folks will only buy one or the other... I'm a fan of either.

I THINK the dividing line is the Rockies. If not it is the Mississippi. Wouldn't find both at any store that wasn't "on the line" I don't think. Their suppliers wouldn't have it.

Wikipedia says:
Himalayan salt is rock salt or halite from the Punjab region of Pakistan. It is mined at the Khewra Salt Mine in Khewra, Jhelum District, Punjab, which is situated in the foothills of the Salt Range hill system in the Punjab province of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. It is located about 310 km (190 mi) from the Himalayas, 260 km (160 mi) from Lahore, and 298 km (185 mi) from Amritsar, India.[1]

My understanding is that the salt was deposited when the ocean levels were higher.

I grew up with Hellman's also. Loved it! Then I started reading labels, to eliminate chemicals from my foods. I have MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, so I need to avoid chemicals whenever possible.

At the top of the list is soybeans. Unless they are "organic", soybeans are GMO, and are sprayed with Roundup, so, for me any foods with soybeans are out of the question.

So, I started making my own mayonnaise. It's been about five years since I have had Hellman's, so I can't assure you that my mayonnaise tastes like it. But, as Baymule as attested, and my DH says, I think it is very good.

 

[Baymule]

I hate mayonnaise. Yuck. It's like wiping calf snot on bread. Gross stuff. Gag. But I will eat @Devonviolet mayo with a spoon.

 

[Bruce]

Hellman's/Best Foods, not Miracle Whip @Baymule !!

I feel that once I dig a spoon into the jar, the time clock starts, as far as spoilage goes. Does that make sense?

The time clock starts as soon as the egg is laied and again, once air is available to it.

By using a smaller jar, it gets used up more quickly, with less chance of spoiling. Also, I use the ACV, as a mild, natural bacterial control.

Vinegar will kill a lot of mycobacteria but it will not inhibit or kill salmonella, which is the leading medical problem related to mayonnaise (and eggs in general)
