Notes
What if my mayo is water?
- No worries! This has actually happened to me twice over the years of making many batches of mayo.
- When it does I use the watery messed up mayo as the oil and try again.
- So, I put the egg, lemon juice, and mustard in the bottom of another widemouth jar and then pour the watery mayo over and blend again. It ends up having two eggs, but I don’t add the salt the second time around since it is only for flavor.
