Jujube (/ˈdʒuːdʒuːb/ or /ˈdʒuːdʒuːbiː/; also known as jube, jubejube or juju) is a harder, chewier version of gummy type candy.
History
[edit]
A recipe for "pate de jujubes" was published in 1709.[citation needed] That recipe called for gum arabic, sugar, and the date-like jujube fruit. In 1853, both "ju ju paste" and "ju ju drops" were sold by confectioners.[1] Later, recipes used various flavorings instead of jujube fruits.[2]
Through the 1980s, jujubes were a somewhat popular variety of movie theater candy.
