Highlander Mayonnaise


Intro

This was the only salad dressing I can remember growing in NZ in the 1970s. Its kind of weirdly sweet and is total nostalgia whenever it appears on a bbq table (which is not often these days). In my memory it is the 'only' accompaniment for salmon souffle. 




Recipe
  • 1 tin highlander condensed milk
  • 1/2 tin of malt vinegar
  • 1 tsp mustard powder
  • salt and pepper
Stick everything in a jar with a screwtop lid and shake it up. Keeps for a few days in the fridge. This is the thick version for dolloping on stuff. Thin with 1/2 tin water or milk (or to desired consistency). It does tend to thicken in the fridge.

  1. Fantastic nostalgic old recipe. Lasts longer than a few days in the fridge, as long as my family don't find it first, so I prefer to thin it at the time of making with wat

    1. 1/2 tin? Well those days are long gone. Sad. Just have to guess on the malt vinegar.

  2. That's the salad dressing recipe, there was also a mayonnaise recipe which had an egg added, but I don't remember how it went, Do you ?

  3. It keeps for weeks in the fridge. The vinegar keeps it fresh.
