I use small jars for some marinades and salad dressings -- put all the
ingredients in, put top on securely, and shake like crazy. Sometimes
that works easier than a lot of whisking. I have used saved spice
jars for storing excess when I've brought in too much thyme or
rosemary from the garden. Haven't had a Gerber baby food jar for
decades. -aem
