Welcome to Chris's Caribbean Delights, today we're making homemade mayonnaise.

You can use canola oil or olive oil; canola oil is flavorless, while olive oil gives a distinct flavor.

You need one egg, and if you're concerned about raw eggs, you can use pasteurized eggs.

Homemade mayonnaise can be stored in the refrigerator for about 5 days.

Combine all ingredients in a container: drop in the egg, add vinegar, salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce.

Add 1 cup of oil to the mixture.

Use an immersion blender to blend all the ingredients together until it emulsifies and thickens.

Taste the mayonnaise to check for tanginess from the vinegar and adjust if necessary.
