Make the perfect potato salad, cabbage slaw or deviled eggs with this family recipe for homemade cooked mayonnaise.
When I say this recipe for cooked mayonnaise has been in my family for a very long time I mean A Long Time!
Grammy’s First Cookbook
I was going through a recipe box that belonged to my Grams and came across her very first cookbook! Matter of fact she wrote, “This is my first cookbook 1934”.
Jump to Recipe
Inside this cookbook I came across many memories. For one thing, seeing her hand writing and reading the recipes I almost felt like she was sitting in the same room with me as I turned every page. It was as though I could hear her voice saying every word as I was reading. I could hear her reading each recipe right along with me. It was pretty magical to say the least.
Grams would sometimes write a little something on one of the pages of a recipe like, “Best” or “Paul’s favorite”. Paul is my Gramps or should I say was my Gramps. Some of the recipes Grams would even write “Grandma’s” or “Great Gram’mas” as whom she received the recipe from. Yep, this cookbook is pretty golden to me.
Grammy’s Recipe
It would not be unusual to find a couple of the same recipes inside Grams recipe book. One would actually be written in the book binder and then there would be another one on a card as though she jotted down the recipe before actually entering it her cookbook.
There is nothing fancy about making this recipe. It is pretty simple. Just place a few ingredients in a salad shaker bottle to mix, heat on stove, add a few more ingredients and viola!
From just looking at Grams jotted down version of her cooked mayonnaise recipe, it appears this recipe actually came from her grandmother. Wow! That makes this recipe over 100 years old and maybe over 150+ years. Amazing!
Cooked Mayonnaise
Curious as I was, I wondered if this cooked mayonnaise recipe that was in my Grams cookbook was common, so I searched the web.
I found that most mayonnaise recipes use some of the same ingredients but they also have other ingredients that include olive oil, white wine vinegar, and lemon juice.
Those other recipes are good too but they are a different type of mayonnaise.
Grams cooked mayonnaise recipe is what I use in my homemade potato salad recipe. It has a deep yellow mustard color and is a tad bit sweet.
As recommended by my Grams, use this dressing on potato salad, cabbage slaw, sliced tomatoes or mix a little with egg yolks for deviled eggs. I do hope you like my Grams cooked mayonnaise recipe as I sure do!
