I actually do make my own mayonnaise. I have problems with the preservatives they put in stuff not agreeing with me and so I make my own. Its easy to make. Takes like 10 minutes whip up a big jar of it. It tastes really good, too.

I make my own mayo too. Patrice is right. It's super easy to make and cheap if you already have a lot of eggs. Plus, it tastes divine. I make mine in the food processor.

I wondered how long you can keep homemade mayo with its lack of preservatives. Asked chef Google and got 2 -3 days mostly but one site said 2 months if you ferment it. Here is the site, https://www.myhumblekitchen.com/2012...e-ingredients/. Basically, she has you strain a tablespoon of whey from plain yogurt and add that to the mayo, mis throughly and let sit at room temp for six hours. Tropic I know you do a lot of fermenting. What do you think of this advice.

I don't use whey for my recipe or let it sit at room temp which will probably shorten the life. I put mine directly in the frig. It lasts for a week or so. I've been doing it for 4 or 5 years now. I have a very basic recipe that you do in the blender and it tastes great!

I rarely watch television but when we were in Massachusetts this past weekend caring for our 100 year old mother in law, I heard a disturbing story on television about how much food the average family throws away each year from leftovers...it was something like 1200 lbs, maybe even more...How crazy is that.
