I have ordered from this company before....

I like their products.

Grapeseed, sweet almond oil or bacon grease

I haven't try this but sounds good....

First, hi and welcome Miss Daisy

I tried homemade mayo one time, years ago. I guess I was actually expecting to end up with Miracle Whip...? I sure was disappointed in the nothing-taste of the homemade stuff.

BUT! After reading here, I might have to give it a go again.

If it's Miracle Whip you're trying to make, you could try this. I copied it a while back from somewhere on the net, but, like the mayo, I have yet to actually try making it:

Homemade Miracle Whip

Ingredients

* 2 egg yolks
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1 tbs powdered sugar
* 1 tbs lemon juice
* 2 tbs vinegar
* 1 1/2 c oil
* 1 1/2 tbs cornstarch
* 1 tsp dry mustard
* 1/2 c boiling water
* 2 tbs vinegar
* 1/2 tsp paprika
* 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Directions

1. Mix eggs, salt, sugar & lemon juice together in a blender.
2. Slowly drizzle the oil into the egg mixture making sure to mix thoroughly. Be careful not to add your oil too fast.
3. Mix in 2 tbs of vinegar and set aside.
4. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch, mustard and vinegar together till combined.
5. Add to cornstarch mixture to boiling water and cook till smooth and pudding like. It should only take a few minutes.
6. Slowly add the hot cornstarch/mustard mixture to the egg mixture and blend well.
7. Add paprika and garlic powder. I did this at the end but you should be able to add this anytime.
8. Refrigerate

For a miracle whip type salad dressing, you just need to add different spices. Sometimes I make plain mayo, sometimes I spice it up to make it more like miracle whip. Same recipe, more spices. I really love dill weed in my mayo.
