CouesWhitetail Report post Posted September 28, 2016 Nice! We always harvest ppears and juice them. The juice is great just straight or you can simmer it down to make a thicker syrup which my husband then uses to make ppear bbq sauce, which is amazing! To make it you can take a generic BBQ sauce and add the simmered down ppear and any extra spices you like (chipotle, jalapeno, garlic, etc). You can also add the juice to your favorite IPA to make it a ppear IPA. If you like IPAs, you will love that! We add the juice to smoothies too. here are some pics of some ribs with prickly pear bbq sauce from our recent campout 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many pears did it take to make that size cup in your pic? Do you run the pears in a juicer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many pears did it take to make that size cup in your pic? Do you run the pears in a juicer? I probably had 3lbs of over ripe pears. I boiled them, then I mashed them, then I strained it. That left me with 2.5 cups juice, then simmered it with equal amount of sugar. It was super clear I couldn't even see any pulp in it. I thought I'd have thorns all over heck but it wasn't that bad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
