Fresh jamun berries are best stored in the refrigerator. Place them in a shallow container lined with paper towels to absorb excess moisture. This will help prevent them from becoming mushy and extend their shelf life. They typically last for about 3-5 days when stored properly in the fridge. For longer storage, jamun can be frozen. Wash and dry the berries, then spread them out on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring them to a freezer bag or container. This prevents them from clumping together.
