How do you store tomato sauce?

Answer:

Purchased tomato sauce should be stored in a cool, dry place.

When referring to homemade tomato sauce, how it is stored depends on how long one wants to keep it.

1. Use clean, sanitized containers.
   
2. Keep it covered (limits mold exposure).
   
3. Cool it quickly and thoroughly. Use shallow containers and refrigerate or use an ice bath.
   
4. Refrigerate at 40°F or below. Use within a week. Check for signs of spoilage before use. Reheat completely. For longer storage, put it in the freezer.
