Jujube or Ber or Elandha pazham is a seasonal fruit available in South India.
Jujube bar is one of my all time favorite snack during childhood. I used to totally love the tangy taste of the ready made bars that are available. My grandpa used to send a lot of packs just for me :) Such a nostalgic dish :)
Its a very simple snack that can be made at home within a jiffy. Its been raining cats and dogs at Chennai for the past few days and its unbelievably cold and nice. This jujube snack is a perfect one for such days. :)
