When Great-Grandma Dorothy died last year, we were given a cookbook she often referred to that was written by women in her hometown of Astoria, Illinois, called The ARGUS-Searchlight Cook Book- Favorite Recipes of Your Family, Friends and Neighbors. It has a collection of recipes from women dating back to the early 30’s. From Hobo Stew, Snickerdoodles, to Homemade Mayonnaise!

Lately, I’ve been on a Make Your Own kick-I thought I’d share an easy homemade Mayo recipe!! (whenever possible, use organic!)

Homemade Mayonnaise

1 cup of sugar

1 tbsp of mustard

1 cup of vinegar

4 whole eggs or 3 yolks and 1 whole egg

1 tsp. salt

1 heaping tbsp. flour

1 cup of water

Sift together dry ingredients. Combine the vinegar and water. Beat eggs, add dry ingredients, then add the vingar and water combination. Cook in double boiler until thick.

Here’s a quick salad dressing recipe using the Mayo-

Homestyle Thousand Island

1 cup of Mayo

2 1/2 tbsp.’s of ketchup

1 tbsp of relish or chopped pickles

1 tsp. of mustard

A little S & P

Mix and Serve

Serve on a crisp green salad or slather on a veggie burger or hotdog. It’s a perfect condiment combination!!!

Enjoy! : )
