Prickly pear fruit

Recommended Posts

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

Best way to find prickly pear is to grab the shotgun and go Chase some quail.

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.

Was it worth the work?

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.

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

I would think Drinking the juice straight would be pretty awful

Be careful. Prickly pear lowers your blood pressure. Some people should not consume it.
