Notes

Leftovers can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container or wrapped in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh for 1-2 days at room temperature.
To store longer, place the leftover cornbread in the refrigerator and it will last 3-4 days. 
 
If you want to keep it for even longer, the freezer is the way to go.  To freeze it, wrap it tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap, and then place it in a resealable plastic bag. It will stay fresh for 2-3 months in the freezer.
