Homemade Miracle Whip

Oh my goooooodness gracious! Like all of the other reasons for recipes here - I am trying to get healthy. In order to do that I am trying to make as much of my own healthy stuff as I can.

I ran into this recipe at Recipezaar and thought I would give it a try. I did. It was good but not great so I tinkered. Here is my version:

2 egg yolks (or 1/4 cup egg beaters)
1 package of artificial sweetner of your choice (stevia for me)
1 tbs lemon juice
2 tbs vinegar
1 1/2 c of salad oil

Using an immersion blender (stick blender) bet the eggs, sweetner, lemon juice and vinegar until it starts to lose its glossy-ness.

SLOWLY drizzle in the oil until it turns into what looks like mayonaise.

Now in a small microwave safe bowl combine:

1 1/2 tbs cornstarch
1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 cup hot water
1 tbs vinegar
1 tbs lemon juice
3 more packages of sweetner (trust me)

Put into the microwave for about a minute - long enough for it to look like the inside of a jelly bean.

Using the stick blender again, mix this into the "mayo" stuff.

Now you have miracle whip!
