Autumn is the harvest season for Jujube too. Jujube, is also called Red Date.
The freshly harvested as well as the candied dried fruits are often eaten as a snack or with tea. In Korea, a swentened tea syrup or jujube tea in the form of teabags is also available.
In Korea, jujubes are called " Daechu 대추" and are used in Daechu tea ,"Samgyetang( chicken ginseng soup)",etc.
In Korea, "Daechu Su/Jujube Wine (대추수)/红枣酒" is available at the market. We do also make it at home, the jujubes are preserved by storing in a jar filled with liquor.
In the traditional Korean wedding ceremony, it is a Korean tradition that the newly weds get married, they will be holding onto the clothes and have to catch those chestnuts and jujubes which their parents throw at them, as a good luck charm for fertility; chestnuts represent daughters and jujubes are the symbol of sons in Korean culture.
