Notes
Storage
Store the chipotle sauce in an airtight container or glass jar and keep it in the refrigerator. It will be good to use for up to 5 days.
You can also store the sauce in a squeeze bottle to make it easier to drizzle over your favorite foods.
You can freeze the condiment for longer use, but note that it might become watery or grainy after you thaw it. To minimize this, consider freezing the sauce in ice cube trays, then thaw and use as needed.
