Jujubes Candy

Submitted by Nyteglori

"These chewy, fruity gelatin-based treats take their name from the store-bought candy, often sold in movie theaters. Fortunately, this version produces a candy that's easier on the dental work. You can substitute other fruit purees--such as raspberry or blackberry--for the strawberry puree."

Can stevia be used instead of sugar?

Fruit flavoring is common and boring add instant coffee powder instead for a rare flavor.......
