  • Make sure to let it sit and cool for 1 - 2 hours before using it to give it time to thicken up.
Storing
  • It should be stored in the refrigerator for 2 - 4 weeks as long as it's in a jar with a lid or other air tight container.
  • If you need to keep it for longer than 2 - 4 weeks, it can be frozen.  An ice cube tray works well for freezing.
