SC - Jujube Fruit

[E. Rain]

somhow I missed this thread until today.
I was very excited on our trip to Europe this fall to discover jujubes at
one of the upscale groceries in Paris.  of course I bought them :-> sadly I
had no period recipes with me to try them in, so we just ate them raw to
know what we were dealing with.  they're kind of like bland hyper-pectiny
apples.  they start out with a green apple like skin (though shaped like a
large date) and slowly turn brown to look more & more date like.  Next time
I'll try & cook them.  No I didn't try to bring any home - I was going to be
in Italy another 3 weeks & bringing back foods through customes is
problematic anyway.

wonderful to know that you can now order the tree here in the States!

Eden - any year now I'm gonna start that medieval garden...
