Eugene R. Durkee created the first prepared and packaged salad dressing called Durkee Famous Sauce in 1857. To appreciate his endeavor, it is important to remember this was created prior to refrigeration. His creation was carried west by the pioneers. Historians have found old, discarded Durkee dressing bottles along covered-wagon trails. Durkee Famous Sauce was even purported to be stocked in Mary Todd Lincoln's pantry and served to Abraham Lincoln in the White House during the Civil War. Ingredients:
1/2 cup cold water |
4 tablespoons cornstarch |
2/3 cup malt vinegar |
2 tablespoons salt |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 egg |
4 tablespoons prepared mustard (french's preferred) |
4 tablespoons butter, cut into tiny bits |

1. Whirl all ingredients in blender on high speed until smooth, about two minutes.
2. Transfer to top of double boiler and cook over gently boiling water, stirring often for 12 to 15 minutes or until thickened and smooth.
