Rosemary Mayonnaise

Rosemary is one of my favourite herbs - and this is great with pork or chicken. It is very good with a cold meat buffet. 1 cup homemade mayonnaise 1 1/2 teaspoons orange juice concentrate 1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest 1 1/2 teaspoons rosemary -- chopped 2 tablespoons heavy cream 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice Blend together homemade mayonnaise, orange juice concentrate, orange zest, chopped rosemary, heavy cream and fresh orange juice. Let stand at least one hour to let flavors marry. Cover and refrigerate up to 4 days.
