Giuggiole!
It's a new season at the fruit and veggie shop. Purple cauliflower. Deep, dark nuts. Things I've never seen before. Today I asked about the giuggiole. How do you eat it? What is it? Try it they said. So I did. And I was tickled pink! Which, was a perfect response since if you "andare in brodo di giuggiole" (literally: go in sauce of giuggiole) you are, well... tickled pink. I brought a large bag home and stuffed my mouth with them as I researched what they are in English. Jujubes! Which I didn't know were real things! So, now that my tummy is full of jujubes, and a head of research on how to make jujube sauce, I need to go ask what exactly you do with the sauce. How fun!
