I love watching your videos! You remind me of my Dad. He could do everything from growing and harvesting his own food (plant and animal) to preserving and curing it all to making delicious food. He was a great cook and knowledgeable in many other things. He also had a special relationship with God.

[@LumnahAcres]

He sounds like a good man.

[@lmeasterwood]

Lumnah Acres He was and is missed every day.

[@DRISHANA1]

Made it in the jar with yolks only. Perfect! Thank you

[@thebovineavenger]

P.S. my husband also will not let me buy store bought anymore. Thanks for teaching me Mayo. Works great on Fried egg breakfast sandwiches he had 3 this mourn. Again THANKS man. Now for the farm and fresh eggs.

[@rickmiller2244]

Al, You like a TV cooking show. Great video. Thanks

[@gabrieleggleston868]

Mayo and honey go really well together.

[@natashasemrau3670]

The New Hampshire Chef is amazing making the mayo!!! With eggs from New Yoak City such a creamy mayo has never been experienced before. Let's make some french fries and see how it tastes in the field! Also the mayo can make a great HAM SALAD sandwich. The potato salads to die for! Julia Childs would be proud of your accomplishments!🐣🐤🐥🐓🐔🐣🐤🐥🐓🐔🐇🐰🍀🍀🍀🏵🏵🏵🍀🍀🍀🍀🌸🌸🌸🍀🍀🍀🍀💮💮💮💮🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🌻🌻🌻🌻🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@LumnahAcres]

I bet the mayonnaise would be amazing with french fries

[@stephenzevetchin]

New yolk city*

[@natashasemrau3670]

Sorry l spelled it wrong! Even with these word machines, l am still talented enough to misspell!. Mayo on french fries is a French favorite! Mayo is hard to make, in the old days we had to make all our condiments. Just watch the beginning scene of Meet Me In St. Louis! They were making ketchup! Thanks for showing your skills, Al. Where is Fcat? He is my favorite kitty on your show!🐱🐱🐱🐱🐞🐞🐞🐞🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@davidjohnston1971]

What heresy is this? Mayo on french fries? Everyone knows french fries should be served with malt vinegar. LOL

[@LumnahAcres]

We will have to add some malt vinegar in our may! :)

[@yotagerlie]

Thank you for this. I've always wanted to make my own mayo just figured it wasnt as easy.. But now all I need is to get a blender lol and ill surely give it a shot. Loved watching it change in the glass jar too neato

[@RobertasArtisticAdventures]

Another great and informative video, Al! Love the idea of making my own mayo, maple syrup and raising and processing my own hogs too! Thank you so much for all you do to share your knowledge and experiences! God bless you and your family!

[@mrsgbee8246]

Sensational! You have answered my question about making mayo. Thank you!!!

[@lindakurtz2653]

Thanks for the experiment.

[@theladyinblack3]

Looks so easy especially with the immersion blender! I have to try this!

[@mamabear8590]

Thank You for sharing 👍🏼 after seeing your wife with her new garlic press, I bought one. And love it.

[@gkiferonhs]

I always like comparison videos. Thanks.

[@50shadesofgreen]

Good day to you Al, Gina & Olivia !! 👍👍😁😁 Thanks for sharing your thoughts, knowledge and experiences on your homemade mayonnasie with us all today 😁😁👍👍

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

WOW that's tempting 😋 !

[@shartne]

Hey I know this guy! I watch you every morning.

[@vickiewells6292]

FYI: If you add one tablespoon of whey to your homemade mayonnaise it will last three to four weeks in the refrigerator. Stir it in after you make the mayonnaise. Don’t use the immersion blender to add the whey because it will make it too thin.

[@michael7423]

well done video, I cant wait to try this mayo recipe

[@pannellclara]

i’m def trying this👍🏼Thank You❣️

[@jimclaire7996]

Great way to make mayo. I have a wand and I use the Wand to make mayo in the province. Thanks for the suggestion of adding mustard and sugar. God bless America.

[@FarmFreshIB]

Looks delicious!

[@evephillips6701]

Al you're good at what you do in the kitchen😊....I like the look of the clearer mayonaise using the whole egg...Yummy😍

[@qchav9187]

Awesome . Trying to decide which food processor to buy. How well in makes mayonnaise no longer a criteria. Ease and time saving is why I want a food processor but you showed it’s not always the case. Thank you so much for your comparison

[@blitzburghbilly7813]

Oh REALLY IT'S THAT SIMPLE .... WELL I DON'T OWN A FOOD PROCESSOR but I DO OWN A EMULSION BLENDER I'M GOING TO GIVE THE (YOKE) ONLY METHOD A TRY THERE AL ..... THX FOR THE (SCHOOLING) HERE....

[@yotagerlie]

Cranberry sauce is great to add to mayo for turkey sandwiches (or chicken)

[@lauralyshomestead1016]

I always make homemade mayonnaise, Try Coleman's Dry Mustard, I add garlic and smoked paprika. We love it sandwiches, and grilled chicken. if it ever breaks on you add put some of it in another jar or bowl add another egg whole or yolk blend it till it thickens then add it back to the original jar and blend it in.

[@LumnahAcres]

thanks that sound delicious!

[@RickMitchellProvenanceAndRoots]

You made that look too easy! I may never buy store bought mayo again. 😎

[@katielakefarmandcottages5685]

Thank you. I love homemade mayo. Keep up the great work with your videos. 💕

[@edmondsonoffgridhomestead8932]

Wow, I never knew how simple it was.

[@AnneMarieRenee]

When I was little, I used to drizzle maple syrup on my BLTs and fried bologna sandwiches🤣😂I haven’t done. That in years but I want a BLT with syrup! Happy Maple Syrup weekend! Haha...

[@LumnahAcres]

I bet those BLTs were amazing! Thanks I am boiling some sap right now

[@mpedmar9701]

Lumnah Acres Try adding horseradish ! Oh my !!! It pops !

[@dawnakarma8913]

Al, Super, Great,Fantastic ,, Love each and every recipe you put up and everything about your homestead and family and you is so fantastic``one of the prettiest and smoothest functioning homesteads on youtube`` thank you,,, love your channel....

[@nanamary6]

That was great... I’ll be making my own mayo now...

[@alanhiatt4820]

Thanks for making this video. I didn't know mayo would be that easy to make. I like your idea of sweetening with maple syrup and thinking pickle juice instead if vinegar might add a bit too. Just a bit of pureed roast Jalapeno too. I think I could make that - thanks again.

[@BraxxJuventa]

Great recipe Al! I'm surely going to try that out! Thank you! :))

[@secondnaturegirl]

I think you just came up with a new product that would sell like crazy!

[@dianemurphy2840]

I only had a food processor plus my own eggs. Never thought of using yolks only. I liked the idea of the emolsion blender because I always stirred it in ball jar. Maple syrup, mmmmmm. We always had that because my neighbor tapped the trees :). Here also had a homemade saw mill in his back yard so I had all the slab wood I could haul away for my wood stove. I was truly Blessed!

[@LumnahAcres]

Sounds like a great neighbor to have!

[@THXSmith]

Instead of an Emulsion blender I just use my $2 thrift store immersion blender. I quit using sugar in mine precisely because it made it taste more like store bought Miracle Whip. I also like to add a teaspoon of mustard powder if I have it on hand. You can also add a touch of cayenne pepper or garlic powder or onion powder or all of the above to make a very tasty dressing. I always use whole eggs and never just egg yolks. Even with store-bought raw eggs I have never ever gotten sick. I always use apple cider vinegar in mine. Another trick if you don't have an immersion blender or an emulsion blender or a food processor you can still make mayonnaise with an ordinary blender. In order to make drizzling the oil easier I would just use a disposable plastic cup with a skewer hole punched in the bottom on top of the blender. Just pour in your 3/4 cup of oil and let it drizzle through the middle portion of the blender cover and turn on the blender.

[@PlowAndPantryHomestead]

I love making my own mayo but I never thought of using my immersion blender. Thanks!

[@elizabethlangford4444]

Yep, I love using my emulsion blender to make mayo directly into a jar. It's so easy! I like to put fresh basil in it.

[@smileytow1925]

Just made the immersion blender mayo! Very very good and easy! Will let my hubby taste it to see if he likes it. ( I don’t like any kinds of mayo but I DO like this one!)

[@mnichols31]

I’d never heard of avocado oil before, I’ll have to watch for that. 👍🙂

[@lisabooker6405]

Uhhhh anyone wanting a good processor needs to run to amazon via the link cause it’s a Cuisinart 8 cup (sp?) on sale for $64 and change and free shipping which is $120 OFF!!! Add free shipping and you’re saving at least another $12!! Woooowhoooooo great hook up Al! I already have one but I’m gonna tell my daughter! TFS God Bless ~Lisa

[@LumnahAcres]

I couldn't pass up the food processor at that price.

[@geraldsahd3413]

Good video. I found yolk only that sometimes emulsifying was tricky. The answer is one yolk and one whole egg. Also olive oil is fine with a virgin or light olive oil. Cut back the salt with olive oil.

[@yvencia1150]

Thank you very much!!!😊😊😊😊

[@LeeCraftyHomestead]

I tried someone else Mayo and yuk! I had to come back and make your Mayo with the stick blender was amazing. It had flavor. had me a Egg Salad Sandwich. yummy! I'm saving this one

[@charlesbump5004]

Liked your video thanks for sharing your knowledge with us

[@DivineMisterAdVentures]

I do not have a full food processor and use the immersion attachment for chopping. I only use my blender for ice - which is designed for it - so no cleanup. I use the immersion tool for everything else. I usually can clean it with a spray bottle of water and not waste anything (like a smoothy.) A few squirts is all it takes. And ... that's my life.

[@yvonnemonjaras8995]

I definitely want to make my own.

[@KQOAmericanLady]

Yummy I want one of the BLTs oh so good

[@detroitmikeh5638]

Morning brother.... Have a great Saturday.... Think your doing sap today if I remember correctly..... You and the family have a Great Day.... Blessing.... Stumbled into some older Vids.... Very impressive stuff... I'm catching up.... Lots of good knowledge there..... Well I'm cooking sap n drinking coffee.... Waiting for the sun to pop up... Need to get an evaporator here, make my life easier

[@aliciarock5677]

this was great!!!!!!Love watching you ! I live in Salem NH

[@LumnahAcres]

Not to far from here!

[@rsoubiea]

this has been the trend here for quite awhile, restaurants, diners, food trucks are making there own mayo, ketchup and aoili’s. i was raised on best foods (hellmans) so that is the taste i have come to expect.

[@jimclaire7996]

I wonder if rice vinegar would work with the mayonnaise making process. Flavored mayonnaise, how great that. I was sold on T good processor. Al, you have sold me on the Emerson blender. Thanks Al. God bless America. Oh, I nearly forgot, thanks for the tip of adding more oil. Blessings to you all!

[@dianamallory8535]

This is to much of a coincidence! I have been trying different mayo recipes. Thanks for the tip on thickening. I was having an issue with it. I used sunflower oil, didn't like it. I used canola oil I liked it better. Next time I will try the avocado oil. You know with the vinegar, the fresh eggs, and the lemon juice in it I question the shelf life, you suggested. I think it will keep longer than a week! I know it will, mine is 2 weeks old and we are still eating it. Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@atheanicholls2199]

Good morning Al Gina and Olivia welcome to a beautiful Saturday have a wonderful weekend, love the recipe i 😍 love mayonnaise. another great video enjoyed appreciated till tomorrow same time same place God bless 👋 bye. 🐓🐕🐈🏡🍴.

[@jimclaire7996]

Wow another great, awesome video. Talk about comparing in a side by side test. Great idea, and a great use for extra eggs. I know even our small flock of hens gave us far more eggs than we could use. I like the food processor as I do not like wasting the egg yoke. I do like the mustard in the mayonnaise though. Al, you are a good salesman. I may try my emulsion blender next time. I may have to buy another emulsion blender. Mayo with maple syrup, how new and great and idea us that. Al, what will you think of next. Oh, I heard the little comment of adding hot sauce. Remember, Texans love hot sauce. I can almost smell the BLT, homemade mayonnaise, home grown lettuce and tomatoes and home grown bacon, and your homemade bread. Al, you are about the luckiest guy on the planet. Gotta love it. America needs more guys like you. (By the way, we use human dishwashers, and often wash our dishes in cold water). I saw very few people use hot water to wash dishes in, in The Philippines). Stay well. Blessings to you all. Padre+

[@loriehabel1552]

You are a good man Al. You are always up to teaching different things. Cudos to you 👍what you dont use the animals will go crazy over 💥

[@Pps985]

Awesome, Al! Can’t wait to try this! BTW ... I’m a Wrentham native living in CA.We have a family farm right outside of Woodstock VT in Windsor. A bit north of you. I love watching your videos everyday ... makes me feel connected to home. Love seeing Gina and Olivia too! You guys are a great family. 😊

[@LumnahAcres]

Wrentham MA. We could have been neighbors!

[@Pps985]

Bet we were! 😊

[@Pps985]

Thanks for giving me a piece of “home” everyday! Loyal followers, here.

[@RickMitchellProvenanceAndRoots]

Made some mayo using the immersion blender today. I was surprised at just how much oil I needed to get it to set up. Also, can totally understand using a flavorless oil. I used Olive oil and there's a very strong Oliver tester to it. (But, I like that flavor. So it's ok!) 😎 Going to make Tuna melts for lunch with it. YUMM!

[@offgridsweden]

Great video. Made a mayo video a long time ago. I always use the emulsion blender. Got to try lemon juice in my recipe. Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden

[@danielthomas8670]

wow your the rock star of husbands, i love my hubby but you even cook !!!

[@007darryl]

Man Al, you made me hungry! Sweet video...

[@lindaschmitt6652]

my mouth is watering

[@kleineroteHex]

I never noticed a difference using whole egg or mostly/ only yolk! Gotta add garlic though 😎 Blender any time, less cleanup!! You got it! If you like more yellow even with whole egg, add a pinch of turmeric.

[@dianebrodeen3863]

I love using my immersion blender! So easy to use, and the cleanup beats cleaning a regular blender.

[@LumnahAcres]

The clean up is so easy!

[@carologwin1103]

You could add about 1/2 tea of horse radish to the same mix, yummy. Thank you

[@Leslie_AvalonAcresFarm]

Ok, I ran out of mayo last night, instead of running to the store, I'm making my own! Thanks, Al! ~~Leslie

[@LumnahAcres]

I cant wait to hear how you like it!

[@IslandExoticsHomestead]

Al, Yes isn't it good?! ;) We've been making our own for 20 yrs now. Oh soooo good!

[@LumnahAcres]

and so easy!

[@gardenlady1293]

you can make it with just a whisk or just mortar and pedestal if you are out of power.

[@curban616]

You are killing me!

[@debbiegallett1125]

It works every time with my immersion blender and was a total failure with my small food processor.

[@mawpatti]

Cant wait to try this...AL what size is that glass jar is it a quart size or?

[@suzisaintjames]

👍. With lots of love from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵, 78/53f today.

[@decolonizeEverywhere]

hey guys! when i got home with your eggs after your hog harvest class last fall, i made the most delish mayo. it was sooo good! i use my immersion blender, yolks, avo oil, fresh lemon juice, etc, and some garlic, chives and dill. it was great on fish and it made the best potato salad i've ever made! we're getting excited to come back to your place for hog harvest 2.0 in a couple weeks. and i'm looking forward to making mayo with my own homegrown eggs! ....is the snow gone yet? i gotta get looking at property and get homesteading!

[@LumnahAcres]

That mayo recipe sounds delicious! We cant wait for the class either

[@lodewijktilanus5965]

Don't wanna spoil the mood, but you should have added the oil way slower. That helps with the emulsification proces and greatly improves the texture. It should take somewhere around a minute to add all of your oil with the batch you're making. Hope this helps

[@missmix48]

You'll have to feed the people at your Pasture to Plate. They will love that.

[@LumnahAcres]

Oh, we eat well during the classes!

[@AveryMilieu]

Back when Maple was a part of my diet my mayo (made in a blender with whole eggs) was maple and rice vinegar and a light oil. Often added garlic and black pepper, occasionally dried mustard. Now, I'm raising hens for eggs again and my mayo is lime juice and honey with a lighter olive oil -- I'm considering avo oil, but I haven't found the stuff in a glass bottle, yet. Food processor is too large for a single person and one egg batches, so the immersion blender seems a good way to go. But I can't do seeds (Lectin diet) so it's garlic and honey... Peanut oil is terrible! Used that mayo (spoons and spoons of it) on hot pasta with grated cheese. On baked potatoes and my husband would spread it on meat -- especially the garlic variety.

[@candiwallace6605]

Cheers 🤗

[@anniegaddis5240]

Most used Words by Homesteaders... EXCITED and SO !

[@suzisaintjames]

When cleaning the food processor, fill the bowl with hot soapy water and wizz. It will clean the bowl and blade all in one. ❤🌅🌵

[@onewhitestone]

Heeey AL, gonna start calling you chief AL. Homemade mayo, sounds great, not to keen on the maple syrup part, but that's ok. Keep up the good work.

[@debketelsen3742]

Wjhen they are in season I like to use a whole avacado to make mayo. I substitute it for the egg yolks. It is made just like using egg yolks with a touch of cayenne pepper added for a bit of zing. It will last about 3 days before it turns that funky gray color. I make it just before I know I will use it in potatoe salad or if I am going to be making a bunch of sandwiches. I medium pitted avacado replaces 2 egg yolks.

[@joylouise5417]

Deb Ketelsen Thanks for these extra tips.

[@indicasmama]

Thank you for the suggestion of avacodo. Can't wait to try this.

[@CleoCastonguay47]

Hi Al... thanks for sharing those beautiful Mayonnaise Recipes... :) Maybe you should start a new career and become a Chef... You're a darn good cook . :) :) . :) .

[@LumnahAcres]

Thanks, we will stick to YT cooking, I like sharing with the Modern Steaders!

[@marbarnes7063]

Wow, your egg yokes are so yellow. surprisingly. My free range chicken yokes are very orange! lol It could be the mustard in the 2nd batch that made it a more yellow color, too.

[@bigdaddy741098]

Well you DID make me hungry, so I'm getting the kids to make something yummy. But I'm telling them it was YOUR idea and you told me to get them involved at nearly 1am. NOT MY FAULT KIDS lol

[@kirstenwhitworth8079]

If you add garlic, you get aioli. I know you don't love piquante foods, but we often add chipotle to our mayo - great ob BLTs! If you use butter instead of oil, and mix it over low-heated water, you get Hollandaise sauce. Mmmm. Eggs Benedict... This sauce is the base for at least 14 classic French sauces that are really just Hollandaise with additives. I wish I had a nickel for every time my grandmother had me make Hollandaise or Mayonnaise when I was growing up.

[@LumnahAcres]

those all sound delicious!

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

I would have to say that there is no other way to get mayo made with avocado oil and farm fresh eggs. The maple syrup is also a great addition. YUM. Where did Spring go.... It's white outside again. BOO. Come on Spring.

[@LumnahAcres]

It is time for spring to come!

[@waltlars3687]

Most salad dressing are made with egg Yolks I hauled 6400 gallons of egg yolks in a Tanker truck from Iowa to Los vegas to a salad dressing plant just use make the mayo base thiner and add dryed spices to flavor it

[@LumnahAcres]

Holy EGG YOLKS Batman! :)

[@waltlars3687]

55,000 pounds

[@waltlars3687]

Since you normally You use one or two egg yolks per 16 OZ. So when I was hauling all those yolks how much salad dressing could Make with the load before they go bad ? When I got there I saw 16 rail road tank cars of food grade corn oil

[@eddeetz493]

Great show, is tartar sauce made by just adding pickles and juice? Good luck with the weather and sap run. Stay safe on those icey roads.

[@stephenzevetchin]

Ed Deetz add sweet pickle relish

[@karencatalano4349]

Try the maple butter. It’s great on home made bread toaste

[@LumnahAcres]

I will have to try making some

[@Keiths1234]

Yummy yummy and good all you have to do now is bottle it up and sell it on your Etsy store I'll take two bottles LOL

[@julesphilander4237]

Don't really know the difference between an immersion and an emulsion blender. They look the same to me. Anyway I use one of them. I use one whole egg, a pinch of salt and dribble the oil while blending until I get the consistency I want. No vinegar required. No separating white and yolk either. Makes a nice amount that it is used quickly so I don't have to worry about it spoiling.

[@kaisenji]

Nope! I hate the stuff but hubby like it and it is a great way to use up extra eggs! Some people use mayonnaise in cake making. It is supposed to make super moist cake.

[@muskateer10]

Interesting that you did not need any oil in the Immersion blender version. Oh yeah, that's right; The oil magically showed up in the jar without you adding it in. Must be magic.

[@alisonkirton8377]

May I ask what make is your immersion blender? (Is there a difference between an immersion blender and an Imulsion blender?) I was planning on ordering a new one soon because mine just broke - and like the look of yours! I will be making mayo with it now for sure!

[@LumnahAcres]

we have the one we got listed on our amazon shop www.amazon.com/shop/lumnahacres There is no difference its just what I called it when I was getting tongue twisted! :)

[@helenhelps9619]

👍 👍

[@mikeparsons7660]

Had to repeat video a few times. When was the oil added in the Ball Jar method method? Processor method had oil added early on, but wasn't on the Ball method....it just magically appeared when he was ready to blend. And was the White Wine Vinegar added to the Processor version?? I'll have to wing it.

[@saurabhd8247]

Hi Al, instead of harvesting the pigs, how about using them for breeding so that you have piglets every season instead of purchasing piglets?
