Homemade Miracle Whip

By Mynenni

This tastes very close to the brand name but much better for it's freshness. In a completely blind taste test (my husband didn't even know what he was tasting) he chose mine over the brand name...that's saying something!

Ingredients

• 2 egg yolks
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 1/2 cup oil
• 1 1/2 tablespoons corn starch
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/2 cup boiling water
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Using a blender, blend egg yolks, salt, powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice until well blended. If you don’t have a blender, you can use an electric mixer.

With the blender still on, slowly pour 1 cup oil into the blender. SLOW! Like it should take you a VERY LONG TIME to get that into it. 5 minutes is okay! The slower the better!

Add the remaining 1/2 cup oil a little faster, but still on the slow side. You don’t want to dump it all in at once.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.

Once all of that is completely blended, turn off the blender for a bit and turn attention to the other ingredients.

Boil the water and mix the cornstarch, mustard, and vinegar into the boiling water until smooth. Heat over low heat in a saucepan constantly stirring until it is smooth and paste-like; but make sure it doesn’t get too thick.

Turn the blender back on and slowly add the hot mixture with what’s in the blender and blend well. Turn off and scrape sides if necessary and then turn back on. Make sure it is all well blended.

Once it is blended, put it into a container with a lid to be put into the refrigerator. Allow to cool completely before using.
