I must have an unappetizing variety or else I am harvesting them at the
wrong time.

I have a 'So' jujube that is bearing for the first time. I tried
harvesting when just part of the fruit is brown, I found them crisp but
not very sweet nor interesting in flavor. I also tried them fully
brown, a bit sweeter, but still not very interesting. I tried drying
them at both stages. I got a hint of the famed date-like flavor, but the
fruit had an unpleasant bitter note.

So, do I have the wrong variety or do I just not care for jujubes?
