1. Wash the mountain jujubes thoroughly and soak them in salty water for about 20 minutes, then drain off the water.

Put enough water to cover the mountain jujubes in a pot and start cooking. Boil until it comes to a boil, then add rock sugar and cook for 10 minutes.

3. Transfer the mountain jujube mixture into a blender to make jam, then pour it back into the pot and bring to a boil. Add an appropriate amount of white sugar and stir constantly while cooking.

4. Cook for about 40 minutes until the jam thickens significantly, becoming difficult to stir and leaving a layer on the back of the spoon when lifted from the pot; then turn off the heat.

5. Allow the cooled jam to cool slightly before pouring it into a container, pressing down firmly. Place in the refrigerator for one night, then remove by turning over and cut into pieces.

7. If not finished, store the remaining mountain jujube paste in an airtight container and consume as soon as possible.
