I made this up a while back and froze in ice trays and then put in a freezer bag. I have used it twice - in pinto beans and then last night in black beans. You can't go wrong making this up and freezing. It is excellent seasoning, particularly for beans.

I made this to use in Rita's Asopao. It is wonderful. The aroma while it cooks is fabulous, the flavor of the finished sauce is delicious. I am only sorry I did not make a bigger batch so that I could have put some in the freezer for other uses. Thanks, Rita!
