Storing and Reheating Instructions

Fridge

Freezer

YES! You can freeze these! They can last up to three months. Portion it out into smaller containers or freezer bags for easy use. Make sure to let it cool completely before freezing.

Reheating

Reheat your sauce on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. You can also reheat in the microwave. If frozen, thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.

But I’ve to admit on my less-organised days, I’ve chucked the frozen block straight into the microwave with no issues!
