We have them here in Italy too, I have a dish-full of them on my kitchen worktop, a nice thing to nibble while I feel peckish.

Yay… not just us then 🙂
Are yours from a native (1.5-2cm fruit) or commercial tree (3-4cm fruit)?

I always wondered what they looked like. And they look like cherries!

Yep, imagine a brown cherry but tastes like an apple, albeit slightly softer and drier than an apple.

Like LuLu I know jujubes as candy. I didn’t know there was a fruit called Jujube. At first I thought you were showing us cherries!
They are good looking!
