Ingredients
  • 35 good sized prickly pear fruits
  • 1/4 cup of fresh lemon or lime juice
  • 1 box pectin (fix according to directions on box)
  • 3.5 cups of sugar
  • (works best if made in small batches)

Directions
  1. Pick ripe red fruit with tongs or leather gloves
  2. singe off spines over fire
  3. wear leather gloves to rub off peel
  4. cut peeled fruit into quarters
  5. barely cover with water in large pot
  6. cook 20 minutes until real soft
  7. strain through folded cotton tea towel or four thicknesses of cheesecloth
  8. (the directions end there, but I assume that you would mix all the ingredients together and put it in jars)

I've been looking for this. Our grocery carries the fruit already de-spined. Thank you.
