Notes
- To Store: Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days once it has cooled completely. Reheat leftovers gradually on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- To Freeze: Cool sauce completely, then portion into freezer bags or containers, removing excess air before sealing. Add a label and date. Freeze for up to 4 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat.
- To Thaw: Transfer frozen sauce to the refrigerator overnight for gradual thawing. Alternatively, place sealed container or bag in cold water, changing water every 30 minutes until thawed.
- To Reheat: Reheat thawed sauce on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally, or in the microwave, stirring halfway through until warmed through.
