45 minMaking jujubes at home requires precision but rewards you with soft, chewy candies bursting with fruit flavor.
Sugar syrup cooks to exactly 115°C (240°F), then gets combined with softened gelatin and glucose syrup for that signature stretch.
Vanilla and strawberry extracts add flavor, while food coloring creates the vibrant hues.
After setting overnight, toss them in granulated sugar to prevent sticking and cut into whatever shapes you like.
Kitchen Tips
- Use a candy thermometer: Hitting exactly 115°C is critical for proper texture; guessing won’t work
- Keep gelatin warm: Set the gelatin bowl over simmering water so it stays liquid when mixing
- Grease your mold well: Vegetable oil or cooking spray makes removing set jujubes much easier
- Cut with oiled scissors: Lightly oiled blades slice through sticky candy cleanly
