Notes
- The sauce can be stored in the fridge in a jar with a lid (or container with a lid) for up to 2 weeks. It will harden somewhat, however, when chilled. To loosen it, simply let it sit out at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours, or place it in the microwave and hit "Defrost" for about 30 seconds.
- The sauce can be reheated in a pan on the stove over very low heat, or kept warm in a small slow-cooker, or nuked in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
