Sauce Storage

smokinbutts · Jun 12, 2014

Hey Brethren!

Over the weekend I did some experimenting with some BBQ sauce, I made a vinegar based sauced that was regular and one spicy... I made a bunch on accident and have them in three restaurant style ketchup bottles... Questions...

1. How long would they last refrigerated in those bottles
2. I have mason jars should I transfer them into there and boil the jars for a seal...
3. How do you guys do it??? lol, I might not make PP for another month and the sauce was to good to toss!

:razz:

Depends on the amount of vinegar and if you are storing in the refrigerator or not.

My "Eastern NC style" sauce is mostly vinegar and I can leave that sit out in the garage for months and it is as good then as just cooked. My "Lexington style" sauce I refrigerate and it keeps for months without degradating.
I ALWAYS keep mine in plastic gallon jugs.

I've kept my vinegar, sweet sauce in the fridge for at least a couple of months. My recipe makes a quart. When canning season comes along I may make a couple of batches and slip them in the canner with the wife's jelly.

I always use Heinz plastic bootles to keep my sauces in fridge for months! No problems, never.

Last two batches of sauce I made, I made extra and poured it into sanitized pint mason jars while still hot, sealed it up, and it's good to go.

I make a mustard/ketchup/vinegar based sauce. I have found that when I use mason jars and even vacuum seal them, if the sauce gets up on the lid, it will start to rust after a while.
