In Thailand these are called prutsa you should eat them fresh and crunchy. However, if you do wait a while until they are a bit brown and mushy sometimes they have a hint of bleu cheese flavor.

I love those! They are grown in warmer climate areas in my country (in the coastal region) and the name in my language obviously derives from their Italian name.

In Italian they are called 'giuggiole' and 'andare in brodo di giuggiole' (jujubee's broth) is an expression that indicates a very happy state. to make the broth, you can use giuggiole (when they start wrinking), water, peeled apples, white grapes, and some times wine and sugar. cook it down to a syrupy consistency and let it cool before serving.

Jujubee? That is a cute name. We use it quite a bit in Chinese cooking but in dried form and we just call it red dates. But I like the name-jujubee better.

I bought some at the Farmers Market today, thanks to your picture! They taste different from what I would have expected, but I love them!
