Party Mayonnaise
Posted by Sunday on Feb 26, 2010 at 10:02 pm in Respect Your EldersIn our last episode of Respect Your Elders, there was a recommendation to serve a perfectly good Jello salad with mayonnaise, a gesture I can’t dismiss 100% — true! — because while my Anger Burger forebrain knows that sweets and mayonnaise should be enemies forever, I cannot deny that I love mayonnaise like hippies love patchouli.
Lemme break that down for you.
1 C. mayonnaise
1/4 C. jam (you know, strawberry or pineapple)
- Melt jam.
- Mix warm jam into mayonnaise.
- Serve with fruit salads, by which we mean Jello molds.
Of course, I haven’t tried it, and I like mayonnaise on things that would gag others (rice, burritos, etc.), but I just can’t convince myself that blending it with jam makes it a dessert topping.

Do you think maybe it means real ‘fruit salad’, as-in apples, oranges, bananas … and not jello molds?
I lurv me some chopped-up fruit with a little mayo stirred in. This sounds good to me that way.
I kinda think you need to try it.
Maybe 1/2 to 1/8 in order to not waste precious jam.
Now I’m thinking some kinda party mayo and ham tea sandwich?

Just found your awesome blog/website and can’t stop reading it. I also want to point out that the math in this disgusting recipe is wonky. How do you start out with a cup of mayonnaise and a quarter cup of jam and end up with 2 cups of nasty party mayonnaise?
