From the pan to the jar recommends…

The microwave-cooked tomato sauce can be stored like a stove-cooked sauce. You can keep it in the fridge for 2-3 days, making sure to put it in a covered glass container.

The tomato sauce can be frozen, to defrost the sauce in the microwave, just place the container in the microwave and start with the defrost function for 2 minutes. Stir the contents and then start for another 3 minutes. You will have a tomato sauce like just made.
