Notes

Storing Instructions

The best way to store this marinara is in a glass container or jar with an airtight lid. I enjoy using a mason jar to do this. It'll last 3-4 days in the fridge.

Freezing Instructions

To freeze, simply place the sauce in freezer safe glass containers, or baggies, and freeze up to 6 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight when you're ready to use it.

How to Reheat Marinara Sauce

To reheat the sauce, you can warm it over medium heat in a saucepan. Or you can heat it in a glass oven-safe jar on 350 degrees until warm. About 5-10 minutes.
