Notes
This recipe makes about 1.5 cups of sauce.
While it's OK to use this sauce immediately after you mix it, it's even better to make it an hour or so ahead of time and let it rest at room temperature, allowing the flavors to meld. Just make sure to give it another stir before using it.
You can store this sauce in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to a week. Remember to stir it again before using it.
You can also freeze it in a freezer-safe container for up to three months and thaw it overnight in the fridge. If you'd like to freeze small quantities, use an ice cube tray. Once the cubes are frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag.
