Storage Instructions
Allow to cool completely then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Gumbo can actually be frozen. Add to a freezer safe container and freeze for up to 3 months.Notes
That's a small amount of gumbo file in this recipe. I would offer the file to guests to add to their own plate too. Just a little will go a long way and it thickens quickly.
