Canadian jujubes
In Canada, jujubes are the name used for a particular type of "gummy" candies, the most popular brand being Dare from Kitchener Ontario, [1] They are soft and gummy, consisting primarily of glucose syrup, sugar, flavouring, and gelatin.
The name originates from a hard candy to which they bear a resemblance, though in appearance only.
