  • Absolutely seconding making one’s own mayo. I do keep Duke’s mayo in the fridge for ease of use though. Busy with kindergartner/shift work/etc. Duke’s has a decent acidic zing that a lot of the other brands don’t have (imo)

    Edit to add, some folks will even use pickle juice in lieu of their vinegar. Don’t be afraid to use different types of vinegar as well. I like to use apple cider vinegar or legit Spanish sherry vinegar when I’m feeling fancy.








  • Naturally, I didn’t take notes when I made them. I’m pretty sure I stayed mostly in the mulling spices range: allspice, black peppercorns, clove, cardamom. I’m pretty sure I put in a few coriander and mustard seeds too. Could always add in some cinnamon or nutmeg/mace. Also pretty sure I used plain distilled white vinegar, but I bet apple cider vinegar would be an interesting variation.

    They made a nice accompaniment to charcuterie and even ice cream.
