Notes

Substitutions and storage

Ordinary gherkins work in place of sweet gherkins, though sweet ones give the sauce a sweeter flavor. Use any smooth mustard in place of American yellow mustard. Apple cider vinegar can replace the white wine vinegar; if using ordinary white vinegar, reduce the amount slightly because it is sharper. Brown sugar can replace white sugar.

The sauce keeps for the shelf life of the mayonnaise.
