STORAGE
Make ahead: BBQ sauce is excellent to make ahead because it thickens as it sits and it keeps well for days.
Refrigerator: let the sauce cool down at room temperature, then store in a mason jar on the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Freezer: let the sauce cool down completely, then transfer it into a freezer-friendly container and freeze for up to 3 months.
Thaw: in the refrigerator over several hours.
