Pick out the black jujubes and set aside, eat them or do whatever you want with them. Chop jujubes into small pieces.
Grease a microwave safe bowl and spatula with shortening.
Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper (don't worry if it doesn't stay pressed in. Once you pour in the mixture, it will). Or you can use a nonstick spray.
Add marshmallows, butter and white chocolate chips to large bowl.
Microwave on half power (50%) for 2 minutes, then remove and stir. * The marshmallows get very hot so they will melt the chocolate and butter.
If it's not completely melted, put back in (at 50%/half power) for 30- second increments, removing to stir each time.
Add the cut up jujubes.
Stir jujubes are evenly mixed it. *You need to work quickly so it doesn't harden.
Pour into pan layered with parchment paper. Spread evenly with greased spatula.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Notes
Recipe TipsI love my high-temperature spatulas (affiliate link) because I NEVER have to worry about temperature when cooking when them (and marshmallows are HOT when cooked in the microwave). They are also dishwasher safe, rated to 600 degrees F, won't fade or discolor, come in multiple colors, and are one single molded piece (so they won't separate).If your nougat feels too sticky when you're cutting it, a little trick is to grease your knife with a thin coating shortening (or oil) before cutting the nougat. Although, I didn't need to do this.🌡️StorageTo Refrigerate: Store this nougat candy in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, as it can get a little soft and gooey if left out at room temperature for extended periods of time.To Freeze: Freeze Layered pieces of nougat between parchment paper in an airtight container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.To Thaw: Leave them out to come to room temperature for at least 45 minutes before you serve them.
