Can I Freeze this Barbecue Sauce?

- Remove as much air as possible.
- Seal the inner bag, lay flat and take out as much air as possible, seal and label the outer bag.
Ketchup vs Tomato Paste
Which Sugar Substitute Should I use?
The choice is up to you. I have found some artificial sweeteners offer the sweetness I desire, but also have an after taste and sometimes (like in the case of erythritol or Swerve) also a cooling effect. Chemical compounds found in the stevia plant interact with both the sweet and bitter receptors, leading to its signature bitter aftertaste. That bitter kick is why, at least so far, beverages sweetened with stevia extracts mix in other sweeteners as well — like erythritol, aspartame, or plain old sugar. My choice (at least with this recipe) is Splenda.
