Tips for pitting Jujubes:
Try hitting a dried jujube on the end with a hammer.  The dried fruit comes
off in shards.  I think the fruit needs to be very dry for this to work.
 It's not super efficient, but better than I would do with a knife. There
are clearly some asian pitting machines that work since I have seen pitted
ones in Asian Markets.  However I have not gotten cherry pitters to work
very well except for on partially withered cherry size varieties.  Other
sizes and stages bent my pitter.
