How long will this sauce stay good in the fridge for? Can it be frozen for later?
Hi Gillian,
Thanks for the question. This sauce should be good for 10-14 days in the refrigerator. If you want to freeze it, then you could do so, by placing in freezer-safe bags and storing for 1-2 months. Hope that helps!

Toni,
The serving size is clearly listed above. It changes if you use dried cranberries or fresh cranberries, as outlined. Please give the recipe another read. Thank you for your comment.
