tartar sauce

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

 

Who makes a really good off the shelf tartar sauce that doesn't use high fructose corn syrup.  I's also like something as artificial chemicals as possible.

 

Thanks.

 

 

[Tom Bullweed]

mayo, sweet pickle relish, Worchestershire sauce

mix to taste

I add Texas Pete to heat it up sometimes.

Honestly...there aren't a huge supply with your criteria.

 

So, this is a solid recipe

 

1 cup real Mayonnaise

1 cup finely chopped dill pickles

1 Tbsp dill (fresh or frozen), OR 1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley

1 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp sugar

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

2 Tbsp finely chopped onion is good too, but optional (I usually skip it)

 

Super hard instructions :

Step one:

Throw it all in a bowl

Step two:

mix it up.

 

Now I know you didn't ask to make your own but it's the best way to eat "clean:

My wife buys this one from Sprouts.

I always heard tartar was was used to cover up the taste of bad fish.

I would use home made mayonnaise.

I wish I could help you, but I don't care for the stuff.

Growing up we always had Bob's (Big Boy) tartar sauce. Just looked it up, and it shows corn syrup as an ingredient,  but not high fructose.  Don't know if that's different or not. I remember it as being good.

Nowadays I make my own for the little I use.

Mayo, dill relish, garlic and onion powder, dill and white pepper. Let it set up in fridge a couple of hours.

Mince dill pickles chips...I use a lot at least 8 to 10 depending on much I need...Add  some Best Foods and small very small amount of pickle juice and mix...Then add some paprika..Not a lot, just feel thing...Like a pinch or two....Mix all together, add extra Best Foods if needed...Mom made it this way, I still do it that way...That is all I know...

Add a little grey poupon to give it some zing

[Alpo]

Going off on a tangent (because I ain't got no idea about the actual question here) do y'all know why grey poupon is grey poupon?

 

I'll give you a hint. It ain't got nothing to do with color.

 

Mr Grey was a mustard importer.

 

Amazing how that works. I used to think German chocolate was the special kind of chocolate that you needed to make a German chocolate cake. And, that German chocolate cake were a German delicacy.

 

But no. Mr German ran a chocolate company, you know, like Mr Hershey. And Mr German dreamed up the German chocolate cake. Nothing to do with the country. All about the man.

He's not asking how to make it, he's asking for recommendations for off the shelf stuff.

Here at my Hacienda, we purchase "Bookbinders" Tartar Sauce.  Unfortunately it contains High Fructose Corn Syrup, lots of other ingredients to include several Preservatives and Artificial Flavorings. Since it's a Supermarket Retail product, has to contain most of the artificial stuff.  It Tastes Really Good.

This is the recipe that I use. Sometimes I'll use capers in place of the pickles. Why buy junk off of the shelf?

Might be right but I like the taste on many kinds of fish.

that's when I use it.

Next time your at Zeke's in Prescott, AZ ask Tracy the owner what they use.

[Rip Snorter]

Lots of good recipes out there.  Easy to make your own fresh and tune to taste.

Being a fan of home made, you guys got me interested in making my own. It seems the variables are: type of Mayo, dill or sweet pickles, dill or parsley. Then do I add capers.

 

I will make my own Mayo.  OMG tomorrow is sinko de Mayo.
