liquid coconut oil, an ingredient that has only recently become available, and it is, uh... pricey. You could also use medium-chain-triglyceride (MCT) oil ; it’s marketed to athletes. Or just go with all olive oil. Don’t use regular coconut oil, or you’ll get mayo that’s hard at room temperature, unless your room is pretty warm.
     
Ingredients
     
·       2 egg yolks
     
·       1 tablespoon wine vinegar
     
·       1 tablespoon lemon juice
     
·       1 teaspoon dry mustard
     
·       ¼ teaspoon salt
     
·       1 dash Tabasco sauce
     
·       ½ cup olive oil
     
·       ½ cup liquid coconut oil or another ½ cup olive oil.
     
Instructions
     
1.      Put everything but the oil in a clean, old jar with a lid—I use a salsa jar.
     
2.      In a glass measuring cup with a pouring lip, combine the two oils. Have this standing by.
     
3.      Immerse your stick blender in the egg-yolk mixture, and blend for several seconds, until it’s uniform.
     
4.      Now, keeping the blender running the whole time, very slowly pour in the oil—your stream should be about the diameter of a pencil lead. Work your blender up and down in the jar to make sure you mix the oil in thoroughly.
     
5.      When your mayo is stiff, and the oil starts to puddle on top, you’re done. Mine took all the oil, but you may have a little oil leftover in the cup. Just use it to fry something later on.
     
6.      Cap and store in the fridge, of course.

Notes
     
    I am unafraid of raw eggs; the rate of contamination of uncracked, properly refrigerated eggs is very low. If you’re worried, look for pasteurized eggs.
     

    Also, you can make this in your regular blender, if you like. You’ll just need to transfer it to a jar, and wash the blender.

 

Coconut Butter
     
    Coconut butter runs between $12 and $16 per pound at health food stores. But I can get shredded coconut for $3 per pound! This does require a pretty good food processor; my Cuisinart works great.
     
Ingredients
     
·       4 cups unsweetened, shredded coconut meat
     
Instructions
     
1.      Super-simple: Dump the coconut in your food processor with the S-blade in place, and turn it on.
     
2.      Set your oven timer for 10 minutes, and go do something else.
     
3.      Come back, scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl with a rubber scraper, and run for another five to seven minutes or so—it should flow in the bottom of the bowl.
     
4.      Scrape into a jar or snap-top container. Doesn’t even really need refrigeration, unless you’re planning to keep it for months and months.
     
Nutritional Information
     
    4 cups of finely-shredded, unsweetened coconut yields about 1 cup of butter. Figure 8 servings of 2 tablespoons, each with: 142 Calories; 13g Fat (80.2% calories from fat); 1g Protein; 6g Carbohydrate; 4g Dietary Fiber; 2g Usable Carbs
     
Notes
     
    If you can only get unsweetened coconut in large flakes, they’ll work fine, too; I just don’t have a measurement of how many cups of flakes for a cup of butter.
     

    Here in Bloomington, Indiana, we have two health food grocers. One only carries shredded coconut in little seven-ounce packages, for something like $5. The other has it in a bin in the bulk foods section for a big $3 per pound. It’s yound. Itworth looking for the bulk coconut! Too, try to find a store with a fairly brisk turnover. The fresher your coconut, the better your coconut butter will be.

 

Coconut Sour Cream
     
    Some of you are avoiding dairy. Fortunately, it is possible to make quite nice sour coconut cream—I learned how to do this while writing  500 Paleo Recipes . Here’s how:
