One of the easiest “convenience foods” to make at home is mayonnaise. Once you make your own, to your own taste, you’ll never go back to store bought.\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n\"300x400<\/a>\r\n\r\nSome time back, I stumbled across the book Make Your Own Convenience Foods <\/b><\/a> by Don and Joan German and my kitchen and pantry haven’t been the same since. \r\n

\r\nBasic Recipe:\r\n

\r\n2 egg yolks\r\n
\r\n2 tablespoons cider vinegar\r\n
\r\n1 teaspoon lecithin (optional)\r\n
\r\n1\/2 teaspoon dry mustard (actually to taste)\r\n
\r\n1\/4 teaspoon salt (again to taste)\r\n
\r\n1 1\/2 cups vegetable oil (depends upon size of yolks)\r\n\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\nActually making the mayo is really pretty easy.\r\n

\r\n\r\n\"300x400<\/a>\r\n\r\nStep one: get out ingredients \r\n

<\/h2>\r\n

\r\n\"300x225<\/a>\r\nStep two: put yolks into blender with vinegar, mustard and salt\r\n\r\n

\r\nStep three: put top on blender and mix this up well.\r\n\r\n

\r\nStep four: take out little plug from top of blender and slowly add oil\r\nin pencil thin stream. (about 20-25 seconds)\r\n\r\n
