Miracle Whip from Mayonnaise

Step 1

Measure vinegar into small non-reactive saucepan. (e.g. Stainless steel or teflon coated).

Step 2

Add cornstarch and let soften for a minute or so. Stir with non-metal spoon or whisk to remove any lumps.

Step 3

Add sugar, paprika, garlic and mustard powders.

Step 4

Heat on medium high, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches a full rolling boil.

Step 5

Remove from heat, stirring well. The mixture will be the consistency of thin pudding. It will thicken as it cools.

Step 6

Add to mayonnaise and stir well to combine. Chill for use in a cold salad or use as is in a recipe.

Step 7

NOTE: To make smaller amounts of Miracle Whip, mix at the ratio 1/2 tsp of additive to 1 tbsp of mayonnaise. Store unused portion of additive tightly covered in the fridge.

Step 8

If storing additive, discard any film that develops on top as this will never mix properly into the mayonnaise.

Step 9

Replace sugar with Splenda and/or use Lite Mayonnaise for a diet or diabetic version.
