Cook's tips
- To store, pour hot sauce into sterilised jars and seal. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week. Or alternatively, cool sauce to room temperature and ladle into labelled zip-lock bags. Seal, expelling air. Freeze flat. Sauce will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- To thaw, put bag in a large bowl and leave in fridge overnight then reheat in the microwave or a large saucepan until hot.
