Home Made Mayonaise
Yes…please tell us how long this will keep in the fridge!
How long does this keep?
It will keep a few weeks in the fridge. Unlike store-bought mayonnaise, this recipe contains no preservatives, which is actually a good thing.
I have made it many times I like to put jalapenos in mine it’s awesome 🙂
