Jujube ( or ; also known as jube or juju) is a gummy type of candy drop. History A recipe for "pate de jujubes" was published in 1709. The 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. Today, Jujubes are sold and kept popular by the Heide Candy Company.
