Sweet and crunchy when fresh, the Honey Jar has a classic jujube flavour & crispness with a blue gum honey flavour. This smaller, round jujube fruit is said to develop a unique caramel apple flavour as it dries. The variety is a heavy producer and harvest can be extended with multiple pickings. Early season.
