Make Your Own Organic Mayonnaise

11/22/2013

Believe it or not making your own mayonnaise is quick & easy!  We strongly recommend using a good quality food processor.  If you do not have a food processor you can use a good quality blender.  Did you know that there is a hole in the food processor for making mayonnaise?

In order to make great tasting mayonnaise, you need to use the best organic ingredients!  In our recipe we use real olive oil Unfortunately the majority of olive oil sold in the United States is not real olive oil!  It is usually a combination of oils with a tiny amount of olive oil added in.  Why this is legal is beyond us.  Real olive oil has a distinct bite & aroma.  Once you experience real olive oil you will never buy counterfeit olive oil again!

Mayonnaise also requires the use of raw eggs.  Don't panic!  Raw eggs are not as bad as the media would have you think.  For those of you born in the 1970's or earlier, do you remember eating raw cookie dough or cake batter?  Did you ever get sick?  Yea, we didn't get sick either.  The problem with today's eggs is not the fault of the eggs but the fault of how they are produced.  Hens are overcrowded, the eggs they lay fall onto layers of poultry litter (a nice way of saying chicken poop) where they are stepped on by chickens whose feet have poop on them.  Many chickens die & the eggs are in contact with the carcases as well.  This is the scenario for "cage free" eggs.  Chickens in battery cages suffer much worse but the eggs are probably a tiny bit cleaner due to the fact that they roll across a wire floor where the collect in a tray on the outside of the cage.  Still the chicken factory is a filthy ammonia reeking mess.  So what is a person to do?   Simple!  Buy fresh organic eggs from your local farmer!  Check out the farm & see how they raise & collect the eggs.  Salmonella rarely ever occurs in farm fresh eggs.  In factory farming you can guarantee your eggs will make you sick if you do not cook them. 

Homemade Mayonnaise

2 Organic Egg Yolks
2 Tablespoon Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Teaspoon Organic Sugar Cane

1 Teaspoon Organic Dry Mustard
3/4 Teaspoon Sea Salt
Dash of Organic White or Black Pepper
3/4 Cup Organic Real Olive Oil
1/4 Cup liquid Organic Coconut Oil

Food Processor: Put all ingredients except olive & coconut oils into your food processor & combine by pulsing.  At high speed add the olive oil to the dispenser in your food processor.  Add the coconut oil as soon as it can be added to the dispenser.  Continue blending until the mixture is thick & smooth.  Store in a glass jar in the refrigerator.
Blender: Put all ingredients except olive & coconut oils into your blender.  Combine ingredients at medium speed.  At high speed, add 1/4 cup of oil 1/2 teaspoon at a time; then, still beating, very slowly pour 3/4 cup oil in a thin, steady stream into mixture; continue beating until thick & smooth.  Store in a glass jar in the refrigerator.

Beautiful golden color thanks to our girls rich egg yolks!
Feel free to make changes to our recipe!  If you would like a thicker mayo, add more coconut oil.   If you want it thinner, remove the coconut oil entirely & replace it with olive oil.  You can even change the spices.

Beautiful!

    Do you dream about living the simple life?  Your own idyllic farm where the cows moo and the veggies are the best you've ever eaten?  I've got a surprise for you, homesteading isn't easy!  Join us at our small eco family farm where we stumble often, and learn as we go.  This is indeed the good life, but it is also a very hard life that only rewards for that hard work... or not!  Back to the land, it's tough and I love it. Hi I'm Jen. I run all the day to day tasks both inside & out. I'm the person who answers your emails & processes your orders. To all of our animals I am a walking feed bag. I have the best job ever - seriously :o)

    Join us on our homesteading journey.  We started by growing our own veggies to eventually progress to buying our own farm where we still grow veggies but we now stepped up to cattle.  From chickens to cattle and everything inbetween, join us on our better than organic journey.Hi, I'm John. I take care of most of the manly man stuff that always need doing on our farm. Important stuff like posing for pictures so that Jen can post them on our website. I'm the guy who makes sure all those packages get into the mail on time.... Gotta get back to work!
