Can I freeze the sauce?

Yes, freeze in small portions and thaw as needed.

Can I make it without liquid smoke?

Sure! Just use ½ tsp smoked paprika for a milder smokiness.

Can I also use yellow plums?

Absolutely! Keep in mind that the sauce won't have the typical dark colour when using yellow fruits.
