I got my SAT package today, including the Spicy Pineapple Rum Sauce. The problem? Well, it's pretty cold here, and the sauce appears to have frozen solid :eek:

Does anyone know how the freeze/thaw cycle might effect the sauce? Would it still be safe to use? I thought I might get some answers here while waiting on a callback from HO :)
 
It's frozen? Mine came today really cold. The sauce is really thick. I would just leave it thaw out room temp.

Well, it was 7F outside as the driver handed the box to me. When I opened everything up, the bottle was actually a bit frosty (not to mention uncomfortable cold!), and the sauce didn't budge at all when I moved the bottle around (including upside down). It looked pretty frozen to me (and it does seem to be a bit more "liquid" now it's been out of the box for an hour or so).
 
It's more of a chutney consistency than a sauce, so I wouldn't worry about it.
 
I don't think there would be any problem with letting it thaw and tasting it. It's not an animal product (to my knowledge), and I think it would be the same thing as letting salsa freeze and thaw.
