Home Made Mayonnaise

This was my first attempt at making mayo with a food processor. A few months ago I tried it with a blender and it didn't work, but I got better results this time. I followed the recipe except for leaving out the garlic and salt and pepper. As with homemade butter, I found I needed to keep the processor going for longer than I had expected at each stage. When I started adding the olive oil, I poured it in from the measuring cup very slowly but steadily over about 3 minutes, then kept it on high speed for about another 7 minutes, checking it once in between. I tasted a little and it was good, but probably the extra-virgin olive oil I used could be replaced with something a little lighter for a more standard taste. I actually made 2 batches: one with Dijon mustard and the other substituting vinegar for the mustard. The photo is the second batch, although it looks a bit yellow from the batch which preceded it.

My daughter and I each have a serious problem with one ingredient in commercial mayo, and of course, not the same one. One style in one brand worked for both of us, but our local stores quit carrying it. I tried this recipe twice with EggBeaters and both canola oil and olive oil dumping all ingredients together in the stick blender cup. It was almost too easy! Nearly instant emulsification. Tuna salad and cole slaw can be shared again. Thank you to the recipe sharer and the reviewer who suggested the stick blender

I did it! I had doubts that I could actually get it to work, but I did it. And on the first try, too. The flavor is good, not what I was expecting but better than the store bought.
