each several times with a fork. In a kettle bring to a boil 5 cups water,
5-1/2 cups sugar, and 1 tablespoon corn starch. Add the jujubes and
immer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Cool, cover, and chill overnight.
The next day bring syrup and jujubes to a boil and simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes. With a slotted spoon
lift jujubes from syrup and place slightly apart on rimmed pans. Dry in oven, or in sun for about 2 to 3 days. Check
fruit frequently and turn fruit occasionally until the jujubes are like the
dates ones sees in the market. Jujube Syrup Boil syrup remaining from the Candied Jujubes,
uncovered, until reduced to about 2 cups. Use over pancakes and waffles. Store in the
efrigerator. Other uses: Substitute the dried jujube wherever recipes call for raisins or dates. Dried jujubes are a
wonderful snack that can be prepared without the use of any preservative as is so commonly needed for other
dried fruits. |
