Title: Jujube recipes
The recipe for candied jujubes is not a very
good one. They suggest using dried jujubes to start and then pricking them with
a fork. Have you ever tried to prick wrinkled dried jujubes, it does not work
very well. Most people that candy jujubes in this country use fresh jujubes
to start with then remove the seed before candying them. They
make a much better finished product that way. And the syrup that is left
over from the candying process can be stored and used as pancake or waffle
syrup, it has a great taste. If you go to our website www.oakcreekorchard.com and click on
jujube pictures on the left of the home page then go to the last picture you
will see a picture of jujubes in the process of being candied.
In the cake recipe they leave out a step. You first
need to simmer the dried jujubes long enough to soften them and then remove the
seed before mincing them.
There a lot of good jujube recipes. Have you tried
jujube pickles, that's one of the favorites for some people? How about jujube
butter?
I wrote a book on jujubes called JUJUBE - Plant
and Fruit available from www.3mpub.com/ashton . There are quite a
few recipes in the book, most of them we have tried before they went in the book
to be sure they would work. Of course the book includes various aspects of the
jujube, with a lot of color pictures.
If any of you want the jujube sweet pickle recipe
or perhaps the baked jujube crisp, just send me an e-mail and I will send you
one or both of the recipes.
