Dry gulab jamun bites are a delightful Indian sweet, perfect for snacking. These bite-sized treats, made from milk solids and soaked in a sugar syrup, offer a concentrated burst of flavor. Proper storage is key to maintaining their texture and preventing spoilage.
Storage Time
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Temperature
Store at room temperature (around 20-25°C) or in the refrigerator at 0-4°C.
Freezing
To freeze dry gulab jamun bites, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to an airtight freezer bag or container. This prevents them from sticking together. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving. Freezing may slightly alter the texture, making them a bit softer.
Signs of Spoilage
- Visible mold growth on the surface of the gulab jamun.
- A sour or off-putting smell, indicating bacterial growth.
- A significant change in texture, becoming excessively sticky or hard.
- Discoloration or unusual spots appearing on the surface.
