So cool ~ The recipe is embossed right on the jar...
~an egg, 2 tbls. lemon juice or vinegar, a teaspoon each
mustard, salt,sugar and a dash of pepper
Beat in thoroughly as you pour from can
one pint Wesson oil!
Once you were done adding all the oil, your mayonnaise was finished.

The lid was specially made so the oil would gradually drizzle down on the other
ingredients while you beat everything together.
This Vintage Find is listed in my EBAY shop!

Oh my.....that brings back memories. It was my job when I was a kid and it took a bit of work. Can you still buy Wesson oil? I haven't seen it in our stores here for years. I used to like using it for homemade french fries because it wasn't as greasy as some other oils.
I used to make mayo. Didn't know there was such a thing. How handy that would have been. I've said it before...you find the best stuff.
what a great find. I think you could use olive oil and get the same results.

I guess I never even thought about how mayonaise was originally made.
I wouldn't have even known what that jar was had I seen it.
Very cool !!!
and no wonder mayonaise is so fattening with all that oil eh.
Would that recipe work today and would I want to eat a raw egg?
This looks like such fun! I can imagine how good it tastes without all of the preservatives!

Wow, great find. It never occurred to me that they used to home-make mayo! BTW, I am hosting a giveaway for a great clock on my blog. Pop over if you'd like to enter. Good luck & thanks so much for following Pixie Dust.
