Notes

How to Store
Fridge: Store any extra sauce in an airtight container and use within 3 to 5 days.
Freezer: Let the sauce cool completely and then store in freezer safe containers. Keeps well for up to 4 months. Make sure to leave a little extra room at the top of any container you use as pizza sauce will expand as it freezes.
