Jujubes…Tis The Season ….

 

 

These small, chewy, fruit-flavored sparkly squares reminds me of my childhood and are so fun to eat …

These fruity candies are very easy to prepare at home and Needless to say these are very addictive & you wont stop munching on them …
This is the basic recipe you will find on the internet for “Homemade Gumdrops” ..

 

 

I think one can even use agar agar instead of gelatin and can add food coloring and essence or essential oils for flavoring … ( I myself have not tried mak in these using agar agar )
