Mother's Quick And Easy Fresh Mayonnaise

Directions

1. Beat egg yolk and add in Tbsp. vinegar. Add in mustard, salt and pepper and mix well. Drop oil a tsp. at a time into egg mix, beating constantly till 1/4 c. oil is added. Then add in it in larger quantities, beating thoroughly after each addition. As the mix thickens, add in the remaining vinegar a little at a time. Half vinegar and half lemon juice may be used. Keep in chill covered.
2. Tootie's Notes: Use the same method and add in some of the flavored mustards for a very unique taste. Dijon is my favorite. Try some of the flavored vinegars-we make ours with herbs which we grow in our herb bed. For a Fruit salad Mayonnaise mix in 1/3 c. whipped cream lightly into the above mayonnaise recipe.
3. Variations: Red Mayonnaise: add in 1/4 tsp. paprika and 1/4 c. catchup.
4. Cucumber Mayonnaise: Add in 1/2 c. grated well liquid removed cucumbers.
5. Horseradish Mayonnaise: Add in 2 Tbsp. grated horseradish. (WOW)
6. Jellied Mayonnaise: Use 1 c. slightly liquid aspic jelly in place of egg yolk.*See below.
7. Marshmallow Mayonnaise: Substitute marshmallow whip for whipped cream in fruit salad mayonnaise.
8. Banana Nut Mayonnaise: Add in 1 well mashed banana and 2 tables peanut butter to recipe for mayonnaise.
9. Cheese mayonnaise: Add in 1/4 c. grated American cheese to recipe for mayonnaise.
10. Marmalade Mayonnaise: Add in 1/4 c. orange marmalade to recipe for mayonnaise. (This works with other marmalades-lime is good.)
11. *Aspic Jelly: 1 tables gelatin, 1 pint stock, 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. mixed spices, 1/8 tsp. pepper, juice of 1 lemon, 1 egg white, 1 eggshell. Put gelatin in 1/2 c. cool water, soak 30 min.

14. Tootie's notes: When this was made by Mother and grandmother we had our own chickens. I no longer add in the eggshell to the mix as I don't know the conditions the egg was laid in. Call me quirky! My Aunt still has chickens and still uses the eggshell method.
15. NOTES : Basic Mayonnaise with some ways it was used. I have many more variations.
