Gulab Jamun

I wonder if there is any household where Gulab Jamun is not a part of their Diwali Sweets. I have always had it on my list and still continues to be because my family enjoys this sweet. 

I personally love it served hot with Icecream even though I am diabetic. I tried the Mini Jamuns and they turned out so yummy.
