Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Blueberry Cobbler expire?
A homemade blueberry cobbler can last up to 2 days at room temperature if covered properly. In the fridge, it should keep well for about 4-5 days. If you choose to freeze it, it can extend the shelf life up to 4-6 months. Always make sure to cool it completely before storing.
How do you tell if Blueberry Cobbler is bad?
There are two key signs of a spoiled blueberry cobbler. The first one is mould growth, the fungi come with different colours - blue, green, or white, and they may appear on any part of the cobbler. The second one is an off smell. If your cobbler has a strange sour, or simply 'off' smell, it's likely gone bad.
Tips for storing Blueberry Cobbler to extend shelf life
• Ensure your Blueberry Cobbler has cooled down completely before storing. This can prevent condensation which may lead to mould formation.
• When storing in the fridge, place the cobbler in an airtight container to keep it from drying out and absorbing smells from other food.
• Make sure to wrap your cobbler tightly in both plastic wrap and foil if you want to freeze it, to avoid freezer burn.
• It's best to eat your frozen cobbler within 4-6 months. Longer storage will not make it unsafe to eat but the quality and texture may suffer.
• For defrosting, move it from the freezer to fridge and let it slowly thaw for a few hours.
