How to Make Kraft's Miracle Whip for Just Pennies

Miracle Whip is a mayonnaise-like dressing offered by Kraft in three varieties: original, light and fat free. While you might not be able to replicate the product perfectly, if you are looking for a really inexpensive alternative, there is a way to make it at home.

Things You'll Need

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 6 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup vinegar
  • 3 cups salad oil
  • 3 tablespoons flour or cornstarch
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt

Instructions

  1. Blend the egg yolks, salt, sugar and 2 tablespoons of vinegar in a mixer.

  2. Slowly add 1 cup of the oil, a few drops at a time while mixing thoroughly. Add the remaining oil a little faster, but be sure to continue to blend. Add 4 tablespoons of the vinegar.

  3. Put the remaining ingredients in a saucepan and cook to a smooth paste. Add this hot mixture to the first mixture and bled well.

  4. Pour into a container and cool in the refrigerator.
