Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette

Made this in where I'm volunteering. I didn't take photos so I used photos online that were similar to my results.

LIST and HOWTO:

1 cup fresh or frozen strawberry
2 tbsp strawberrry jam

If using frozen berries then microwave it 2 minutes. Then use blender to blend jam and berry. You want to chop/pulse them up. You don't want pink foam to form. Want the consistency be almost like the photo above. Pour into a large/medium bowl.

1 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tsp salt
1/4 pear vinegar
3 cup oil
1 tsp dijon mustard

Blend the 5 things together to emulsify. After the blend it looks like mocha chocolate color firm peak of egg whites texture. Then pour the mixture into the berry bowl and mix well. I tasted the end product and I could taste the strawberry flavor and the sourness.The end result looked like something like the photo below.

French Dressing Recipe

I also made French Dressing for the first time at the Agrace's Kitchen. I added everything in a large bowl and used a spatula to mix. The oil wasn't mixing well. I worried if I added to much, but then told myself I followed the recipe. Then I thought I needed a better tool, which I found a whisk to mix. It was much efficient in mixing the oil and sauces together.

LIST:
3 cup ketchup
1 cup Dijion mustard
1 cup Cider vinegar
2 cup oil
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbs worcestershire
1 tsp tabasco

Mix everything in a bowl very well.

I made the dressing without the little fish paste at Agrace's Kitchen. It gave a pretty lemon green color.

LIST:
1 cup good mayonnaise
1 cup chopped scallions(spring onion), white and green parts (6 to 7 scallions)
1 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
2 teaspoons chopped garlic (2 cloves)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup sour cream

HOWTO:
Place the mayonnaise, scallions, basil, lemon juice, garlic, anchovy paste, salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the sour cream and process just until blended. (If not using immediately, refrigerate the dressing until ready to serve.)

1000 Island Dressing

I also made 1000 island dressing at the hospice kitchen. It was easy to make. I don't remember the salt and pepper measurements if its tbsp or tsp. And also if parsley and pickle relish 2 or 4 tbsp. Well just add little bit at a time and taste it to your liking.

UPDATE 7/1/13:
Okay I took a picture of the recipe and got the right measurements which I have changed below.

Ingredients:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup ketchup
1 chopped hard boiled egg
2 tbsp chopped parsley
2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

mix together.
