The key is lots of head space in a glass jar going into the freezer. Not the .5" that you give a glass jar when you're canning. Also, don't fill a glass jar with hot liquid unless your jar is on a rack or dish towel. Make the sauce, cool it in the fridge then jar it with a couple inches of headspace or more.
