- Thicker: if you want the consistency to be thicker you can pour the sauce into a medium sauce pan after blending and let it simmer for a little while until it has reached your desired thickness (remember it will also thicken up after cooling).
- Storage: store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week.
