If you do it in half-pints and a hot water bath - it ought to keep fairly well.

Being as I seldom cook for more than 1 to 3 people at a time - I'd adjust that
by half. And, as I said above - half-pints give you a chance to enjoy the sauce
without getting tired of it until you're ready to open another jar for your
breakfast toast. Or waffles.
