Rugelach

Rugelach is a traditional Jewish pastry that's immensely popular not only in Jewish communities but also in coffee shops and select bakeries. This delicate treat is made from a dough that's often infused with either sour cream or cream cheese, resulting in a flavorful and crispy texture. Once the dough is prepared, it's rolled out into a circle, then cut into triangular wedges, each filled with various ingredients such as chocolate, poppy seeds, walnuts, raisins, or fruit preserves. The wedges are then rolled into crescent-like shapes and baked until golden-brown. Consumed year-round, Rugelach is particularly beloved during Jewish holidays such as Hanukkah.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Rugelach expire?
Unopened and store-bought rugelach typically lasts for about 1 to 2 weeks after the date on its package if it's kept at room temperature, but can last up to a month when stored in the refrigerator. Once opened, it's best to consume the rugelach within 3 to 4 days when kept at room temperature and up to a week when stored in the fridge. If frozen, rugelach can last anywhere from 6 to 8 months.
How do you tell if Rugelach is bad?
If it gives off an off-putting or sour smell, or if you notice any mold or discoloration, the rugelach is likely bad. The texture can also indicate spoilage. If the rugelach feels soggy or overly hard, it's probably time to throw it away.
Tips for storing Rugelach to extend shelf life
• Store rugelach in a tightly sealed container to keep it from going stale quickly. • If planning to eat it within a few days, keeping it at room temperature is fine. But if you plan to have it over a longer period, store it in the refrigerator. • To freeze rugelach, wrap each piece individually in plastic wrap and then put them in a sealable plastic bag or airtight container to prevent freezer burn. • Don’t stack rugelach while storing as it might cause them to become squished or deformed.
