Hersey's Jujubes?

I gather the fruit is pretty much like a regular date except that it can dry
on the tree.  You can make jujube candy by halving and seed the ripe fruit
then simmering it in a 50/50 mix of water and brown sugar for about 20
minutes and spreading it out to dry.  Not exactly a modern jujube though.
