- Store your homemade BBQ sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to three months. To freeze, pour the sauce into freezer-safe mason jars, containers or bags, leaving some space for expansion. When you're ready to use it, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight. You can reheat the sauce by warming it in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the desired temperature.
