In reply to Beth. Beth: You can definitely freeze sauce. I would suggest letting the sauce cool and placing in zip-lock bags. Press as much air out as possible and stand them up in case you don't get a complete seal. You can freeze in other containers too. Glass containers theoretically are at risk of cracking as the liquid freezes but I've never seen it happen. Thanks! Joe

Can I freeze this sauce? With the pandemic I’m having trouble finding supplies for canning!

In reply to christine. Christine: Thanks for your comment!! I have seen some recipes that suggest this too but many that don't. I canned about 3 dozens jars from this summer's tomatoes with no lemon juice and they are keeping just fine. The main thing I've read that you can only can in a water bath if it for high acid foods like tomatoes, most summer fruits, etc. Otherwise you need a press-canner for stock, green veggies, etc. Hope that helps.

Love your recipe. Just checking – all the notes I see online to can tomato sauce says to add lemon juice and salt. I don’t want to ruin the flavor of your sauce by doing this. So tell me, you can just can this sauce without doing that and it works?
