How long does home-made mayonnaise keep?

[Sair]

I would say as long as the egg is meant to last :s I know the mayo I buy only lasts a few months which is short term for a store bought item.

Am loving this thread. My DP and I were talking about this not too long ago, and both saying that we need to make more effort in the kitchen. Will contribute with more posts when I can

Thanks, , a jar of the store bought stuff only lasts me a couple of weeks (maybe three?) because we just use so much of it. Economics wise, store bought is probably cheaper though. Hopefully not, and I can work it out!

I promise I'll post the wellington recipe soon! I thought I already did but I must have been dreaming LOL!

Eeeks, just googled the mayo thing and it said a week! That is a mega short time, just buy Miracle Whip, it is oh so yummy

ETA, it is up to a week but found this as well...

After making the mayonnaise, stir some whey into the it and let it sit out overnight. The whey ferments the mixture, which means it will keep much longer. I do this with all of my homemade mayo, so that I don’t have to worry about consuming it within a limited time frame.

Eeek, yes! So far I have just been buying Praise traditional (that's what the Man bought to start with) and refilling the squeezy bottle (after giving it a wash so that it doesn't turn feral!). I think its between about $3 or $4 a jar. Must get some tomorrow!

Thanks Cai, I thought maybe you had forgotten!
