my Durkee Famous Sauce knock off...

March 11, 2011

Hey everyone,

I LOVE Durkee's Famous Sauce

it?) but soy bean oil is the main ingredient and I am avoiding soy (the most GMO

ingredient out there) and there is a lot of sugar and other bad stuff in it.

So... yesterday I made a mayonnaise recipe that failed due to rancid olive oil.

I was going through my fridge to clean stuff out and ran across a bottle of body

to be used up due to being in my fridge for too long. I tasted it and could not

TASTE rancidity so decided to use it in an attempt to make a new batch of

mayonnaise. However, as I was sorting through jars I saw my almost empty bottle

of Durkee's (ok, I read the label and saw that there was soy oil in it, but

couldn't make myself dump it down the drain so I'd been eating some here and

there - guilty look) and I decided to attempt to make Durkee's instead.

From the mayonnaise recipe I got the general idea of what goes in a mayo - this

is the mayo recipe I followed:

For the Durkee's I looked at the ingredients (and taste tested) to see what is

special about Durkee's - it is the sweet and the vinegar taste that I am loving

so I put an egg in the VM, lots more dijon mustard than the mayo recipe calls

for (I squeezed it right out of the bottle - must have been close to 3 tbs.

then I shook a decent amount of sea salt in there and used my peppercorn grinder

to put in some pepper to taste then glugged some raw apple cider vinegar (to

replace the lemon juice in the mayo) and it was probably 2-3 tbs. Then I

started the VM on variable 3-4 and drizzled the one cup of Body Balance oil in.

It wasn't sweet like Durkee's so I added 10 drops of Stevia - it needed more so

I added 5 drops more and voila - it was as close to real Durkee's as I'm ever

going to get and WITHOUT bad oils or preservatives!

By the way - I looked online for a knock off recipe (after I'd already made

mine) and it looks atrocious...

f+recipe & ie=UTF-8 & oe=UTF-8 Mine is much better (humble face) ;-)
