Make Ahead Tip

To make this sauce ahead of time, allow it to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container or jar and refrigerating until needed. It will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator, but it also freezes well if you prefer not to use it right away. If frozen, thaw overnight in the refrigerator prior to using.
