Sweet, i may have to go for those tunas (the kind you dont have to go out 100mi for) this year.

My mom made jelly with a bunch i picked years ago. They dont have too much flavor but add really nice color. Good tip about burning off the "hair spines", i hate trying to get those out.

Yea i will be trying a few different things with them! Those little spines seems like a pain to take off! Ill be using a big torch for sure...

Every Thanksgiving, me and the grandkids pick about a bucket of those prickly pears and I take them home and put them in the trash. On the way home, I stop in Fredericksburg and purchase a jar or two of the Prickly Pear jelly. I take the jelly and transfer it into mason jars and then me and the grandkids eat "Home Made Prickly Pear Jelly", the rest of the year.


Works for me!
