version you posted four years ago and used that one. The one with three

MAYONNAISE

Recipe By :Nancree, alt.cooking-chat, 10/28/04

1 egg -- room temperature
1 1/2 tsp. Fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp. dry mustard powder
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup canola oil.

Use a jar that is wide enough for the hand blender
to fit through. Place ingredients in order listed.
Use fresh lime or lemon juice.
Put stick blender down to the bottom of the
jar WITHOUT turning it on.) Then start it and, rocking side to side, slowly
pull it up to the top. Voila! Fresh mayo with the most wonderful taste, in
about 6 or 7seconds.
(full disclosure) There are always many sites about using fresh, uncooked
eggs. I do. You do what you think is best.

NOTES : Use canola oil rather than olive oil.

NOTES : Use canola oil rather than olive oil.

I usually make my own mayonnaise with the blender and often add fresh
tarragon or basil for a different flavour. Always add an egg - so far, so
good! I find that using light olive oil works well and is not as heavy as
straight olive oil. I've never used lime though, will try it next time.
Thanks.

Don't use the one from 2001 that uses 1-1/2 tbsp of lime juice or 1 tsp
salt. :-) Mine's too salty -- I also used Kosher salt and used a
little more than a tsp. I used a cup of oil -- 1/2 canold and 1/2 light
olive oil.

It works!!!!

I've tried to make mayo at least a dozen times with no success. Made
Nancree's recipe, just now, and it is perfect. I don't know why this
one worked where others didn't but I now feel like an expert.
We'll be having a lot of mayo in the days to come. ;-)
Thanks so much for sharing your recipe, Nancree and for the additional
boost your pictures gave me, Barb.

I've never figured out how a cat can eat a whole pound of Cheddar(plus
plastic wrapper) and not die, let alone be able to move. {:o\ ???
