Notes
How to Store Ham and Pickle Roll Ups
These wraps are best enjoyed within 2-3 days of preparation for optimal freshness.Store leftovers in an airtight container or wrap them tightly with plastic wrap. Place them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. Moisture can affect the texture of the wraps. Ensure that the wraps are not exposed to excess moisture in the refrigerator. If condensation builds up inside the storage container, pat the wraps dry with a paper towel before serving. Since this recipe uses cream cheese, I do not recommend freezing. It might become crumbly or slightly grainy once the cream cheese has thawed.
