  I love this sauce. It's quick and easy to make and the ingredients are always in the cupboard and don't go off quickly. I was wondering about freezing it though. I'm assuming that you just leave it to cool completely and then freeze. Allowing it to defrost thoroughly before reheating. can someone please tell me if i'm wrong with this assumption!
