The dregs in jars

What do you do with the last bits of food that linger inside a jar? 
I have a flexible scraper thingy that pulls the last of the jam etc out of the jar. 
If its a pasta/curry sauce, I add some hot water, give the jar a shake and add it to the cooking pot. Nothing complicated.

However, tonight I saw this https://wickedleeks.riverford.co.uk/life...dressings/

Sounds sensible to me!

I do the same as you Veggie.
Some good ideas in that link. Not thought about making dressings.

We just swish it out with water to add last dregs.

Half the time though my problem is getting the lids off in the first place!

If the dregs are sweet they are fed to P in a spoon or on his pud. If they're salty (except for Marmite) they're mine. I usually forget that opened jar of pesto which goes mouldy on the top shelf of the fridge at the back (which I can neither see nor reach). I can't count the number of mouldy pesto jars that have been binned, it's sacrilege.

Definitely need to start a campaign for bigger pesto jars. I do exactly the same     .

........and a campaign for standard size jars that any lid will fit.............and for jars that don't have inaccessible bits either at the shoulders (like Marmite and peanut butter) or hexagonal shapes that look pretty but are a pain to empty.

I didn't used to label any jams or chutneys I made (I do now!) I usually take the lid off older ones having no idea what lies within? I'll have a taste with a teaspoon and if it tastes ok will add it to somethig I am cooking, still having just a vague idea of what I am adding!
