Jujube ( or ; also known as jube, jubejube or juju) is a harder, chewier version of gummy type candy.
History
A recipe for "pate de jujubes" was published in 1709. 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. Later, recipes used various flavorings instead of jujube fruits.
Through the 1980s, jujubes were a somewhat popular variety of movie theater candy.
