Condiment Tips
Curdled Mayo – If your mayonnaise curdles or separates, there is no need to throw it away. Mix 1 T. curdled mayo and 1 t. mustard in a small bowl. Whisk the mixture back into the jar and beat until smooth.
Quick Homemade Pickles – Never throw away pickle juice, when the jar is empty. Slice a fresh cucumber and add it to the juice. Allow the "new pickles" to age a few days, before eating.
(Note: You can do the same thing with an empty jar of peppers. Add banana peppers to the juice, allowing them to set for a few days. In both cases, the longer you let them set, the tastier the end product will be.
Too Much Salt – If you accidently add too much salt to a recipe, you can often correct the problem by adding a small amount of vinegar and sugar to the dish. Taste test before serving.
