  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/3   c            Vegetable oil
   1                    Egg
   4                    To 7 garlic cloves -- to taste
     1/2   c            Spicy Globe or lemon basil
                        -- tightly packed
     1/4   ts           Dry mustard or
   1       t            Dijon-style mustard
   1       tb           Lemon juice or cider vinegar
   1       d            Sugar
                        Salt and pepper -- to taste
     2/3   c            Olive oil

  Put all ingredients except the olive oil in a blender
  or food processor fitted with a steel blade.  Puree
  for 1 minute, then slowly add the olive oil with the
  machine still running.  Stop as soon as all the olive
  oil has been added and the oil has emulsified.  Do not
  overblend. A tablespoon of hot water blended into the
  finished mayonnaise will stabilize it.
  
  "The Herb Companion" writes: "Try this spread with
  meats, grilled chicken, and vegetables, on sandwiches,
  and in salads."
