jar in the frdge. however, can i use that same mason jar and just put
it in the freezer so it lasts longer?

if not, how would i freeze it?

I don't see why not. I freeze mine in tupperware with no problem. the
only concern about freezing something in glass would be that as the
liquid expands while changing from a liquid to a solid it does have
potential under certain conditions to crack or break the glass.

Ball and Kerr make glass jars for the freezer. They have a wide mouth so
expansion is not a problem. We use the small ones for single serving size
of soups. Glass can break if it is banged by a frozen falling steak though
so be careful where you place it in the freezer. .

I wouldn't use a glass jar to freeze it in, too much risk of the glass
breaking. just put the sauce in a good quality freezer zip lock bag.
Remember, fluid can expand about 25 percent. Leave room for expansion.

Also, don't fill it all the way and freeze it at an angle so the contents
can slide upwards instead of expanding outwards.

I use ziplock bags and often mold them in square tupperware
type containers as they freeze. Then they stack nicely. Reuse
the containers.

Or, freeze with the lid off for a day or so- put the lid on after it's
frozen solid.

That's an ideal candidate for canning. There's plenty of info available on
how to can. (Joy of cooking, etc.) It's a cheap way to go and doesn't
consume freezer space.

I freeze mine ok. Use canning jars and it seems to work
ok. Just be careful when defrosting!!
