We all know that feeling. When you can’t quite get the last bit of goodness out of a jar, it’s tempting to simply rinse it out and call it a day—but they say “save the best for last” for a reason. We rounded up five of our fave upcycled dregs recipes, all as easy as pour, shake, and serve. Try ‘em out to whip up totally delicious and upcycled sauces, drinks, dressings, and dips, all with what you already have in your fridge.

Peanut Butter Jar Dip
Some of the best savory dishes start with a sweet base, so when we’re dipping our crudités, we love a little sweetness from a PB base. And this one’s a double win for upcycling, since we’re using up the dregs of our nut butter, and dipping any leftover veggies in our fridge.
