“Apple Pie” Jujubes
Inspired by the flavours of apple pie, we made jujubes—a childhood favourite—using a simple recipe you’ll enjoy making as much as eating. Sweet!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 ml) apple juice
- ¼ cup (35 g) powdered gelatin (about 5 packets)
- 2 cups (420 g) sugar
- ¼ cup (60 ml) lemon juice
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
Instructions
- Butter an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan or two 9 x 5-inch (23 x 13 cm) loaf pans.
- In a bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over half of the apple juice (½ cup/125 ml) and stir with a fork. Let bloom for 5 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, bring the remaining apple juice (½ cup/125 ml), the sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon to a boil. Simmer while stirring for about 2 minutes or until the sugar has completely dissolved. Add the gelatin and continue cooking over low heat, stirring with a whisk until the gelatin has completely dissolved. Skim at this stage if desired. Pour into the prepared pan. Let rest at room temperature for about 8 hours until set.
