1:20
skin's going to char and get really
1:21
black okay we're going to start with
1:23
three pounds of ripe tomatoes you can
1:25
use any kind you like and we're just
1:26
going to cut them in half and get that
1:28
little core out of there notching out
1:30
this and then you'll kind of squeeze out
1:31
all the seeds and any sort of little
1:33
remnants that are in there
1:35
and we're going to chop up a medium
1:37
white onion you can just rough chop so
1:39
martha actually went to france y'all to
1:42

1:50
bit of everything over there

2:06
thing open paris i'd like to get out of
2:08
yazoo city to paris so
2:10
paris here i come
2:12
oh how fun we're gonna heat up this uh
2:15
little pot right here and we're gonna
2:16
cook that down in three tablespoons of
2:19
okay
2:20
i've got your butter covered
2:23
you know people always think tomatoes
2:24
and olive oil but tomatoes and butter
2:26
come together and rice please yes lady
2:31
yeah we're gonna get that melted up and
2:33
we're just gonna add those rough chopped
2:34
onions in there okay and i'm going to
2:36
pop these in the broiler
2:41
let our tomatoes boil in the oven for
2:43
about 12 minutes until the skins are
2:45
nice and charred while we're waiting for
2:47
those tomatoes to boil let's make some
2:49
homemade mayonnaise oh my gosh i love
2:51
homemade mayonnaise and i can't wait to
2:53
see your recipe cause my great answer's
2:56
my nose my nose yes you see what i'm
2:59
saying y'all about that southern accent
3:03
well what i'm going to do first is we
3:05
need to get some eggs separated okay and
3:07
to measure out a cup and a half of
3:08
canola oil and i like to use canola oil
3:11
for my mayonnaise because it has a just
3:13
a neutral sort of flavor
3:17
[Music]
3:19
put our egg yolks right in our bowl here
3:22
okay martha brought with her
3:26
uh her
3:27
old mayonnaise maker y'all
3:29
i used to have one of these and this is
3:33
what the women made
3:34
made their mayonnaise in little nut at
3:37
the bottom would mix up all the egg
3:39
yolks yeah and then this little hole in
3:41
the top as you pump it up and down let
3:43
the perfect amount of little oil drizzle
3:45
down there to get that velvety emulsion
3:47
wonderful i love this muffler i love
3:49
that too
3:50
and um if you ever see it on your garage
3:52
sale pick it up yeah because they're
3:53
getting hard to get it i know we're not
3:56
going to use your mayonnaise maker today
3:57
but we're going to use a little thing
3:59
called a hand mixer we want to get a
4:01
really great
4:02
emulsification so what we need to do is
4:05
drizzle in that oil slow and steady you
4:08
can see it's starting to become
4:10
opaque in color yes and you just it's a
4:13
labor of love but once you go homemade
4:15
mayonnaise it's hard to go back it's
4:17
hard to go back isn't it and you know
4:19
you can flavor it any way you like you
4:21
can put a big old tablespoon of hot
4:22
sauce on the end if you like or some
4:24
fresh herbs
4:26
michael would love that
4:28
the acid in the lemon juice and the
4:30
vinegar is really going to cook the eggs
4:32
so they're not actually raw
4:34
look at it it looks like softened butter
4:36
mother well i know how you feel about it
4:41
all right now what we're going to do is
4:43
we're going to add our flavorings in
4:44
here okay so we're going to add a little
4:46
bit of dry mustard a teaspoon of dry
4:48
mustard
4:49
[Music]
4:50
um you can add cayenne to taste
4:53
okay now i'll add about a teaspoon
4:56
and then a little bit of sugar i'm gonna
4:58
add about a teaspoon of that
5:01
okay and cannot forget our teaspoon of
5:04
salt
5:05
and
5:07
a little bit of vinegar and lemon juice
5:09
about a teaspoon of each and you can
5:10
eyeball it
5:12
[Music]
5:14
we're going to leave it out on the
5:15
counter for four hours yes ma'am all
5:18
right and that is pretty much it for
5:20
mayonnaise all right so i'm gonna take
5:22
these tomatoes out okay
5:24
beautiful
5:26
see that's just gonna peel right off
5:29
y'all and having those you know when you
5:31
cook tomato soup sometimes those skins
5:32
peel all up in there and you get those
5:33
little like rolled up paper pieces and
5:35
yes knocks that right out of the
5:37
equation
5:38
perfect y'all and look at that the
5:40
skin's just going to pull right off
5:43
this is great yellow tomatoes if you
5:46
have them or orange tomatoes or do a
5:48
two-tone protein is really concentrated
5:50
those flavors so are we just going to
5:53
put these into the onion pot we are
5:55

5:57
our butter sauteed onions some of these
5:59

9:56
too
9:57

10:39
it's going to do to the miniature it's
10:40
wonderful and you know there's a great
10:41
description where they call it an opaque
10:43
cicada's wing because that's what the
10:45
little leaves look just like a little
10:47
cicadas wings so if you want to chop up
10:49
a little half a teaspoon or so just a
10:51
half a teaspoon you know nice and fine
10:54
so we are not going to use much not a
10:56
ton of it and then we're going to drain
10:59
our pimentos because you don't want that
11:00
liquid in there because you don't want
11:01
your feminine cheese to be slimy
11:05
and then we're going to also add a
11:08
teaspoon of dry mustard okay
11:13
touch of cayenne
11:15
and we need some fresh lemon juice you
11:17
want to okay let's grab that and how
11:18

11:20
teaspoon
11:21
and i'm going to start sprinkling these

11:26

14:10
a sweet tea pie love it that's the house
14:13
wine of the south into the house yes all
14:16
right now i'm cracking and separating
14:18
eight eggs right we're gonna use eight
14:20
yolks okay two sticks of butter right up
14:22
your alley this pie here
14:24
and so i'm gonna add those right in
14:26
there this recipe has the paula deen
14:28
stamp of approval
14:31
i'm going to measure out here three
14:32
quarters of a cup of strongly brewed
14:35
orange peacoat tea
14:37
okay and that's been set to cool because
14:39
we don't want it to melt our butter so
14:41
we're gonna make this way ahead of time
14:42
so to our butter here i'm gonna whiz
14:45
this up with two cups of granulated
14:47
sugar
14:48
as soon as i get this separated
14:50
i will measure out your two cups of
14:52
sugar i'm gonna get this so it's kind of
14:54
uh mushed up and ready
14:59
[Music]
15:05
now what we're going to get you to do is
15:07
slowly add
15:09
those egg yolks a little bit at a time
15:11
so we can get that incorporated okay
15:14
martha was telling me that when she was
15:16
in high school she went to
15:19
a state fair the mississippi state fair
15:22
pie baking contest this was how this pie
15:25
started and i thought for sure
15:27
i was going to take the day all i got
15:29
was a souvenir apron they had some
15:31
ladies having bacon pies
15:33
but no ribbons for me
15:35
and um
15:37
so i initially was making this with
15:40
water and then one day i was drinking
15:41
some tea while i was making the pie and
15:43
i thought sweet tea
15:45
hi
15:45
sweetie pie
15:47
sweetie pie and we've got her pie crust
15:50
her cream cheese pie crust
15:53
patted down in our pie dish and it just
15:55
looks wonderful so why do you think your
15:58
pie didn't win martha are you even just
16:00
thinking i was a little upstart you know
16:02
there were some ladies in there i've
16:03
been baking pies longer than i've been
16:04
alive and honey take it dead seriously
16:07
oh very seriously
16:09
serious about trying to get that blue
16:10
ribbon let's pop that last little yolk
16:12
in here okay
16:14
and then we're going to add your tea
16:16
right please do and you can use your
16:18
favorite herb tea in the winter time i'm
16:19
going to use sort of a
16:21
or tea in the summer a little lemon that
16:22
would really change up the flavor i mean
16:25
that would customize it to what you like
16:28
in this part it's really important to
16:30
slowly incorporate it uh-huh
16:33
so it doesn't separate it's going to be
16:34
a sweet pie it's going to be it really
16:37
is going to
16:38
be a sweet pie
16:40
and then next that traditional
16:42
ingredient a little bit of cornmeal so
16:44
we've got a teaspoon and a half okie
16:46
dough and that's going to give it a nice
16:48
little tooth to it and also help absorb
16:49
the liquid two tablespoons all purpose
16:52
flour that looks absolutely perfect
17:00
give it a little half a teaspoon of salt
17:02
because we always want to
17:03
balance out that sweet
17:11
we're going to add the zest and the
17:14
juice of one whole lemon okay
17:16
oh smell it
17:19
something about lemon it makes me want
17:21
to go polish furniture
17:26
and we're gonna all right so you want
17:28
the cheese juice in there too
17:32
[Music]
17:34
all right let's drizzle that out in here
17:36
using my hand is a strainer
17:40
all right we've got our prepared pie
17:42
crust right over here and you want to
