I have been trying to get recipes, one by one, that work for our family (and we are off sugar, no less) and for the most part it has worked. It is more costly that the store versions sometimes (especially if you consider that you can get lots of condiments cheaply or for free w/ couponing), but I do think that it is worth it for our family's health. By making your own you can avoid high fructose corn syrup and the MSG-like flavor additives that are so prevalent in all refined foods. I still don't have a good enough mustard recipe to share, but I will share 2 great recipes with you - one for a wonderful homemade Moroccan Vinaigrette: http://wholenewmom.com/recipes/moroccan-vinaigrette/ and one that you can extrapolate from my recipe for Oven Barbecued Chicken: http://wholenewmom.com/recipes/oven-barbecued-chicken/. I am just a beginning blogger, but hopefully I will have some more in the near future! And if someone has a great homemade mustard recipe....send it our way! :-) I can't think, honestly, of the last time that I purchased a condiment in a store.

I started with ketchup and mayo in teens and have moved on to all sorts of things/ Today I made a pomegranate reduction when I could have ordered it online and paid three times as much as the juice cost.It's going to be great in sauces. The one I like making best is lemon curd, which I first made years ago out of a failed buttercream. I think I'll make a batch this weekend.

Muir Glen also makes an organic ketchup, but I'm not sure what it's sweetened with. I gave up looking for healthier (but still affordable) mayo and that's why I started making my own. Now I really like it, even though it took some getting used to. And I'm sure the lower pollution counts for something! :) Nola, The agave one is made by OrganicVille.

What is the agave one called? I looked online and could only find one...but I have never seen that here. Although I am fairly limited... Thats the issue with the eggs too. I can't get the quality ones that I want, same as with milk. I keep looking for a healthier store bought mayo...its hard sometimes to find things away from the big city but I tell myself there is less air pollution here, never any smog etc so that must count for something :). ok, thanks I will look for that recipe.

Have you tried that one? (I haven't) The one I make still isn't my hubby's favorite (though the kids and I really like it), so I'm somewhat still looking for recipes, too. I occasionally buy the expensive organic, agave nectar ketchup for him instead, because he really enjoys that one. Nola and Christy, raw egg is fine if your eggs are from a good clean source (ie. free-range, not cooped up or sick), and well washed. Usually the bacteria that harbors in eggs is actually on the shell, so I always give an extra good wash to any egg I intend to eat raw (mine come straight from the farm, so they all need to be washed). Ultimately, the issue is similar to the raw milk one. It's about quality and how it's being done, but there is actually great nutrition in eating them raw. I was leery at first, but have done it now for several years without every getting sick from it. Sorry Christy, no recipes for Miracle Whip, only mayo. :) I'm sure they're out there, though!

Also, we use Miracle Whip, have you ever come across a recipe for that? Thanks! I'm wondering about the safety of consuming raw eggs as well.

It always seemed a little intimidating - but I think I have the courage to give it a whirl now! :) Hey, I sent you an email, too. Hopefully we can connect at some point!
