Anyway, I'll make it again soon and plan to use different vinegar and different oil.
Anyone have a great mayo recipe and want to share???

I use the recipe below - it seems to work well for me.
Quote:
2 free-range egg yolks
1 free-range egg
1 tbsp French mustard
½ lemon, juice only
½ tsp caster sugar
400ml/14¼fl oz vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation method
Blend all the ingredients except the oil in a food processor for 10-15 seconds, or until well combined. While the motor is running, pour the oil into the food processor very slowly until the well combined and the mixture is thick and glossy.
Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
