It never thickened, and at the end of twenty minutes when I gave up, it completely separated in the bowl.

So it keeps about 2 2 1/2 weeks... Lemons fluctuate in acidity, so as a precaution I try to use it up in about 1 - 1 1/2 weeks...<br />I don't trust bottled lemon juice, cause the actual vitamin C is "dead" already due to oxidation during processing.Shane T.

The only store-bought mayonnaise I can eat is organic. <br />I must be under-beating mine, though, because it always ends up runny. I was told to add a little cornstarch at the beginning to make sure it becomes thick, but to no avail! Maybe I add too much lemon juice (I like putting all the lemon's juice). Don't know. I'll try your recipe once<br /><br />Add a dash of tomato paste and a little cognac and there you have a nice sauce cocktail that'll go deliciously with shrimp!Alinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09217291756627714716noreply@blogger.com
