Tres Report post Posted October 29, 2016 I want to find a place with lots of prickly pear between Gilbert and globe. I'd like to harvest some fruit so the family can try it. Any ideas on where I can find a ton on them?? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJMauro12 Report post Posted October 29, 2016 I picked them for the first time this year On the west side of town so I'm not sure about the east side. It was fun to get out and pick some but the processing was just work. It was my first try so I'm sure there's easier ways to get it done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJMauro12 Report post Posted October 29, 2016 Eh I might do it again if I have some recipes lined up to use the juice. It's pretty strong and was hard for me to drink straight. I mixed it with orange juice and made some popsicles mainly. I did a 5 galling bucket worth of pears and i probably got close to a gallon if not more of processed juice.

trphyhntr Report post Posted October 29, 2016 They're kinda hard to come by right now. I'm addicted to vanilla ice cream with prickly pear syrup. I'm such a fiend I raided a cactus that's in one of my neighbors yards the other night. I don't think it's that much work, but then again I don't have much else to do with my time 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Explorer Report post Posted October 30, 2016 Be careful. Prickly pear lowers your blood pressure. Some people should not consume it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
