To prepare, simply heat the sauce gently in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until it is warmed through.

How to keep the rest
Once opened, refrigerate any unused portion in a sealed container. It is best to consume the remaining sauce within a few days to maintain its freshness and quality. Ensure the container is airtight to prevent the sauce from drying out or absorbing other odors.
