This is a copycat recipe that I believe is closest to the original. It takes a bit more effort than other copycat recipes but I believe it's worth it. Let me know if quantities don't look right.

Time 45m

Yield 3 Cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 tablespoon French's mustard
2 cups Hellmann's mayonnaise
1 cup dill pickle
1 small onion
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons vinegar (from dill pickles)
1 tablespoon paprika (Pimenton Dulce)
1/4 cup canola oil
2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Chop the garlic cloves roughly into about 4 pieces. In a small saucepan, combine the oil and garlic, and fry the garlic for 1-2 minutes in the oil. Be careful not to burn the garlic or let the oil smoke. The objective is to get the garlic flavor into the oil.
Take the pan off the heat and remove the garlic pieces. Put the paprika into the oil and stir. Return to the heat for 1 minute until the oil is a deep red colour. Set the pan aside and allow it to cool.
Finely dice the cup of pickles and a small onion. Place these into a new saucepan along with the sugar and the splash of vinegar from the dill pickle jar. Bring to the boil and simmer until the sugar just begins to stick to the pieces of pickle and onion. By this point, the onion should be softening but still have texture. Remove from the heat and allow to completely cool.
Whilst waiting for the onions and pickles to cool, filter the paprika and garlic oil you made using a paper towel held over a cup, or a piece of cheesecloth. The filtered oil should be completely clear red and not contain any paprika powder. You will need 2-3 tablespoons of the filtered paprika oil.
While you wait for everything to cool down, thoroughly clean a jar that can take about 3 cups of sauce.
In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise and paprika oil with a whisk. The color should end up a light pink / orange. As the paprika oil combines with the mayonnaise it will turn darker after a few hours.
Add the mustard and onion-pickle mix that you made earlier as well as salt which you can adjust to taste. Combine the ingredients with a whisk and place the mixture into the clean jar. Place into the refrigerator for at least one hour to allow the flavors to combine.

Tips:

For the most authentic Big Mac sauce, use high-quality, fresh ingredients. Freshly chopped onion and dill pickles will give the sauce a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
If you don't have any sweet pickle relish, you can make your own by finely chopping some sweet pickles. To make a 1/4 cup of relish, you'll need about 1/2 cup of chopped pickles.
If you want a creamier sauce, add a tablespoon or two of mayonnaise. However, be careful not to add too much, or the sauce will become too thick.
The Big Mac sauce is versatile and can be used on a variety of foods. Try it on burgers, fries, chicken nuggets, or even vegetables.
Store the Big Mac sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Conclusion:

The Big Mac sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of foods. It's easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients. So next time you're craving a Big Mac, skip the drive-thru and make your own at home with this authentic recipe.
