🍱Storage

Refrigerator - Store in airtight container, jar or squeeze bottle for up to 2 weeks. Could try freezing it, but I've never done that.

If you'd like the sauce warm, you can warm in 30 second intervals in the microwave. If storing in a squeeze bottle, you can run hot water over the bottle for ample amount of time to warm the sauce or place the bottle in boiling water. Just make sure the bottle is capable of doing that.
