Various pureed baby foods, veggies and fruits can be turned into
acceptable sauces by the addition of wine, stock, garlic, herbs & spices.

If you purchase commercial mayonnaise, you might consider purchasing a
number of the small 1 cup or so sized jars, which is what i did, i have
about a dozen of them, they are clear glass and easily labelled, if
necessary, with screw top lids.

I don't like to keep herbs or spices in metal, gives them a metallic
taste to me.
