Hey friends! 
Today, I’m excited to share some helpful tips on how to store that delicious homemade tomato sauce you’ve crafted with love. We all know it’s a labor of love to make, so let’s make sure it stays fresh and flavorsome for as long as possible! Here are some easy steps to follow:
Cool It Down: Allow your tomato sauce to cool down completely before storing it. You can transfer it to a wide, shallow container to speed up the cooling process.
Choose the Right Container: Opt for airtight containers made of glass or BPA-free plastic. Mason jars work like a charm, too! The goal is to keep the air out and the flavors in.
Portion Control: Consider dividing your sauce into smaller portions before storing. This way, you can thaw only what you need, reducing waste and keeping the rest fresh.
Label and Date: Always label your containers with the contents and date. Tomato sauce can be frozen for several months, so it’s essential to know when it was made.
Freeze or Refrigerate: If you plan to use your sauce within a week, refrigeration is perfect. For more extended storage, pop it into the freezer. Just make sure to leave some room at the top of the container for expansion.
Avoid Frostbite: If using a freezer, try to place the containers away from the freezer’s vents. This will help prevent freezer burn and maintain the sauce’s quality.
Thawing with Care: When thawing frozen sauce, do it gradually in the refrigerator. It may take some time, but it preserves the taste and texture much better than rapid thawing methods.
Taste Test: Before using thawed sauce, give it a quick taste test to ensure it’s still as flavorful as you remember. You can always add a pinch of salt, sugar, or herbs if needed.
