how to make jujubes at home?

Answer 1

Fruit Jujubes
1 can peaches or apricots
¾ lb. (1 ½ cups) sugar
1 teaspoonful almond extract

Pour off the juice from the peaches or apricots; then
rub them through a fine sieve. Weigh off one pound of
this puree into a saucepan, add the sugar, and bring
very slowly to the boil, stirring all the time. Continue to
stir until very thick-when a drop placed on a slab or
platter will set. Let the puree cool; then add the almond
extract and pour on waxed paper. When quite cold,
remove the paper and stick together. Roll in coloured
sugar or brilliantine, or dip in melted fondant or
chocolate. These sweets may be coloured to taste. A few
chopped nuts, raisins, cherries, etc., may also be added.
Another method: Take any fruit liked, such as figs,
apples, etc.- very watery fruits are not suitable. Stew the
fruit till very soft, with sufficient sugar to sweeten (six
ounces to a pound of fruit being sufficient). Then rub
through a fine sieve. Put this puree and sugar together
in a pan, and cook slowly until very thick. Set aside to
cool, then add one teaspoonful of any extract preferred.
Pour out into rounds on waxed paper, sprinkle with
sugar, and when firm, remove the paper and stick two
together. They may be finished as above.
