Storing sauces properly can greatly extend their shelf life, ensuring that they stay fresh and flavourful. Here are five simple ways to preserve your sauces and prevent spoilage for longer-lasting use. 

Refrigeration 

Always store sauces in an airtight container in the fridge to slow bacterial growth. 

Use Vinegar or Lemon Juice 

Add an acidic ingredient to sauces like ketchup or chutney to naturally preserve them. 

Sterilise Jars 

For homemade sauces, store them in sterilised glass jars to prevent contamination. 

Avoid Cross-Contamination 

Use clean utensils every time to scoop sauce to prevent introducing bacteria. 

Freeze in Portions 

Freeze sauces in small portions to keep them fresh for months without affecting the taste.
