How to Make Jujube Butter
- Wash and pit 2 pounds of fresh jujubes.
- Combine pitted jujubes, 1 cup of water, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jujubes are completely soft and have broken down.
- If desired, add a pinch of ground nutmeg or allspice during the last 15 minutes of simmering for added warmth.
- Remove the pot from the heat and carefully transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender.
- Puree the mixture until completely smooth.
- Return the pureed jujube mixture to the pot and simmer for another 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the desired consistency is reached. The butter should be thick enough to spread.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Pour into sterilized jars and seal. The Jujube Butter will thicken further as it cools.
- Enjoy your homemade Jujube Butter! Store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for longer storage.
